NEETChemistryHydrocarbons
In the presence of peroxide addition of HBr to propene takes place according to anti Markovnikov’s rule but peroxide effect is not seen in the case of HCl and HI. Explain.
Options
- APeroxide effect is only observed with HBr because hydrogen bromide is less stable than HCl and HI.
- BPeroxide effect is specific to hydrogen bromide due to the nature of the peroxide used.
- CPeroxide effect is not observed in addition of HCl and HI. This is due to the fact that the H—Cl bond being st
- DPeroxide effect is not seen with HCl and HI because their addition to alkenes is inherently Markovnikov.
Correct answer
D. Peroxide effect is not seen with HCl and HI because their addition to alkenes is inherently Markovnikov.
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (D) Peroxide effect is not seen with HCl and HI because their addition to alkenes is inherently Markovnikov.
