Addition to Conjugated Dienes
resonance forms of the allylic carbocation
The 1,2-addition product is typical Markovnikov.
The 1,4-addition product is due to the resonance forms of the allylic carbocation intermediate.
Draw a mechanism to explain the following reaction:

-Terpinene, C10H16 (A), is a pleasant-smelling hydrocarbon that has been isolated from oil of marjoram. On hydrogenation over a palladium catalyst, -terpinene reacts with 2 equivalents of hydrogen to yield a new hydrocarbon, C10H20 (B). On reaction with acidic KMnO4, -terpinene yields the compounds below.
