Question

Draw the kinetic and the thermodynamic addition products formed when one equivalent of HBr reacts with the following compound. (Draw a single product for each. Ignore stereochemical or chiral isomers.) Note: Is this a symmetric or an asymmetric diene? Will it matter which end of the diene you protonate first?

Answer 1

Kinetic product HBr (1 equiv.) Herif euty Thermodynamic product

this is asymmetric diene

yes it matters which end of diene protonate first.
