Addition HBr to propene yields 2-bromopropane, while in the presence of benzoyl peroxide, the same reaction yields 1-bromopropane. Explain and give mechanism.

Addition of HBr to propene gives 2 - bromo propane, this reaction is intiated by

The product obtained when propene undergoes addition reaction with HBr in the presence of benzoyl peroxide is

Assertion (A) Propene on addition with hydrogen bromide in the presence of peroxide gives 1-bromopropane as the major product. Reason (R ) 1-bromopropane is the major product because it is formed through the stable carbocation. The correct answer is

Explain addition of HBr to Propene with the ionic mechanism

The reaction of propene with HBr in the presence of ROOR (peroxide) proceeds through which of the following intermediates?

(A) Addition of bromine to 2-butene yields 2,3-dibromobutane. (R) Bromine addition to an alkene in the presence of C CI_4 is an electrophilic addition.

1-Bromopropane on reaction with LiAlH_4 yields

Explain the addition of HBr to propene by electrophilic addition mechanism and free radical addition mechanism.
