- A electrophile
- B free radical
- C nucleophile
- D carbene
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) free radical
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Addition of \(\mathrm{HBr}\) to propene in presence of a peroxide takes place contrary to Markonikov rule. This reaction is known as peroxide or kharash effect or addition reaction anti to Markonikov rule. Peroxide effect proceeds via free radical chain mechanism as given below:…
