Question

When HBr adds to $\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{2} \mathrm{C}=\mathrm{CH}_{2}$ under radical conditions, two radicals are possible products in the first step of chain propagation. Draw the structure of both radicals and indicate which one is formed. Then draw the preferred product from HBr addition under radical conditions.

Step 1

The alkene is $(\mathrm{CH}_3)_2\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{CH}_2$, and the reagent is HBr under radical conditions. Radical conditions typically involve the presence of a radical initiator, such as peroxides, which facilitate the formation of radicals. Step 2: Show more…
