Question:

The amount of anti-addition in the chlorination of alkenes varies with the structure of the alkene, as shown in the following table.R C=C H CH3 Structure of R- H CH0- + Cl H3C- 2-5 C CC14 HH IT R-C-C-CH3 CI CI Percent anti-addition 99 88 63

Suggest a reason for the variation in the stereochemistry of addition as the alkene structure is varied.
