Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Major product of the given reaction has to be identified.

Concept introduction:

HBr addition to alkene under radical condition:

Non-markonikov addition of HBr to alkenes occur by a radical mechanism in presence of peroxide, in which a Br· reacts with the π bond of the alkene to create a radical intermediate that H· from HBr to continue the chain process. The regioselectivity of the products is the opposite of the odinary Markonikov addition products that form under polar conditions; hence it is useful alternative to polar addition of HBr in organic synthesis.
