Reaction of HBr with propene in the presence of peroxide gives:
Reaction of with propene in the presence of peroxide gives:





Options
- Aisopropyl bromide
- B3-bromo propane
- CAllyl bromide
- D-propyl bromide
Correct answer
D. -propyl bromide
Step-by-step solution
Reaction of with propene in the presence of peroxide gives -propyl bromide. This addition reaction is an example of anti-Markownikoffs addition reaction.
