Reaction of HBr with propene in the presence of peroxide gives:
Options
- Aisopropyl bromide
- B3-bromo propane
- CAllyl bromide
- Dn -propyl bromide
Correct answer
D. n -propyl bromide
Step-by-step solution
Reaction of HBr with propene in the presence of peroxide gives n -propyl bromide. This addition reaction is an example of anti-Markownikoffs addition reaction. Related Theory Peroxide undergoes fission to give free radicals. R - O - O - R 2 R - O HBr combines with free radical to form bromine free radical. R- O + HBr R - OH + B B attacks the double bond of the alkene to form a more stable free radical. More stable free radical attacks the HBr . aligned CH ₃ C CHH ₂ Br + HBr & CH ₃ CH ₂ CH ₂ Br + B & n-propylbromide
