What are the products of addition of HBr to propene with and without the presence of benzoyl peroxide?
Options
- AAddition of HBr to propene yields 1-bromopropane both with and without the presence of benzoyl peroxide
- BAddition of HBr to propene yields 1-bromopropane, while in the presence of benzoyl peroxide, the same reaction
- CAddition of HBr to propene yields 2-bromopropane both with and without the presence of benzoyl peroxide
- DAddition of HBr to propene yields 2-bromopropane, while in the presence of benzoyl peroxide, the same reaction
Correct answer
D. Addition of HBr to propene yields 2-bromopropane, while in the presence of benzoyl peroxide, the same reaction
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (D) Addition of HBr to propene yields 2-bromopropane, while in the presence of benzoyl peroxide, the same reaction yields 1-bromopropane
