When 1,4-dimethylcyclohepta-1,3-diene is treated with hbr at elevated temperature, the 1,2-adduct predominates, rather than the 1,4-adduct. choose the correct explanation from below?

Most likely, the production of the 1,4-adduct yields a less-substituted alkene in this situation. Following the 1,2-adduct pathway ensures that the remaining double bond is stabilized by the peripheral methyl group (trisubstituted), rather than making the new double bond disubstitited.

Hope this helps!
