Question

Rewrite the following reaction by filling the blanks:

\[\ce{CH3 - CH = CH2 + HBr ->[peroxide] \underset{(major)}{\underline{}\underline{}\underline{}\underline{}} + \underset{(minor)}{\underline{}\underline{}\underline{}\underline{}}}\]

Answer 1

\[\begin{array}{cc}
\ce{\underset{Propene}{CH3 - CH} = CH2 + HBr ->[peroxide] \underset{(major)}{\underset{n-Propyl bromide}{CH3 - CH2 - CH2}} - Br + CH3 - CH - CH3}\\
\phantom{.........................................................}|\\
\phantom{..........................................................}\ce{\underset{(minor)}{\underset{Isopropyl bromide}{Br}}}
\end{array}\]
