When an unsymmetrical alkene such as propene is treated with N-bromosuccinimide in aqueous dimethyl sulfoxide, the major product has the bromine atom bonded to the less highly substituted carbon atom. Is this Markovnikov or non-Markovnikov orientation? Explain

Reaction of 2-methylpropene with CH3OH in the presence of H2SO4
catalyst yields methyl tert-butyl ether, CH3OC(CH3)3, by a mechanism
analogous to that of acid-catalyzed alkene hydration. Write the mechanism,
using curved arrows for each step.
Compound A has the formula . It reacts rapidly with to give and a carboxylic acid, B , but reacts with only 1 molar equivalent of on catalytic hydrogenation over a palladium catalyst. On hydrogenation under conditions that reduce aromatic rings, 4 equivalents of are taken up and hydrocarbon C is produced. What are the structures of A, B, and C? Write the reactions.
Question:Which reaction would you expect to be faster, the addition of HBr to cyclohexene or 1-methylcyclohexene? Explain.
How would you distinguish between the following pairs of compounds using simple chemical tests? Tell what you would do and what you would see.
(a) Cyclopentene and cyclopentane
