The correct Answer is:
To analyze the assertion and reason provided in the question, we will break down the steps involved in the reaction of but-1-ene with HBr in the presence of a peroxide. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Reaction**: - The assertion states that but-1-ene reacts with HBr in the presence of a peroxide to produce 1-bromobutane. - The reason given is that this reaction involves the formation of a primary radical. 2. **Reaction with Peroxide**: - In the presence of peroxides (like ROOR), the reaction proceeds via a free radical mechanism rather than the usual ionic mechanism. - The peroxide undergoes homolytic cleavage, producing two alkoxy radicals (RO•). 3. **Formation of Bromine Radical**: - The alkoxy radical (RO•) reacts with HBr, leading to the formation of a bromine radical (Br•) and an alcohol (ROH). - This step is crucial as it generates the bromine radical needed for the next step. 4. **Reaction of But-1-ene with Bromine Radical**: - The structure of but-1-ene is CH2=CH-CH2-CH3. - The bromine radical (Br•) then attacks the double bond of but-1-ene. - The pi bond between the first and second carbon undergoes homolytic cleavage, resulting in the formation of a secondary radical (C2H5-CH•-CH2Br). 5. **Formation of 1-Bromobutane**: - This secondary radical can then react with another HBr molecule. - The radical combines with HBr to form 1-bromobutane (C4H9Br) and regenerate the bromine radical. 6. **Conclusion**: - The assertion is correct: but-1-ene does produce 1-bromobutane when reacted with HBr in the presence of peroxide. - The reason is incorrect: the reaction involves the formation of a secondary radical, not a primary radical. ### Final Answer: - **Assertion**: True (but-1-ene produces 1-bromobutane). - **Reason**: False (it involves the formation of a secondary radical, not a primary radical).
