Chemistry Question on Alkenes
The reaction of propene with HBr in peroxide proceeds through the intermediate
A
H3C−∙C−CH3
B
H3C−∙C−CH2Br
C
H3C−CH∣Br−C∙H2
D
H3C−CH2−C∙H2
Answer
H3C−∙C−CH2Br
Explanation
Solution
The intermediate produce in case of addition of HBr occurs according to antimarkonicov's rule. Thus we get
CH3−C∙H−CH2Br as intermidiate.
