    Reaction of HBr with propene in the presence of peroxides gives

    A)  isopropyi bromide         

    B)  3-bromopropane

    C)  allyl bromide                

    D)  n-propyl bromide

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     In the presence of peroxide, HBr adds on alkenes in anti-Markovnikov's way, thus \[{{H}_{3}}C-\underset{\Pr opene}{\mathop{CH}}\,=C{{H}_{2}}+HBr\xrightarrow{Peroxide}\] \[\underset{n-propyl\,bromide}{\mathop{{{H}_{3}}C-C{{H}_{2}}-C{{H}_{2}}-Br}}\,\] Kharasch observed that the addition of HBr to un- symmetrical alkene in the presence of organic per- oxides follows an opposite course to that suggested by Markovnikov. This is termed anti-Markovnikov or peroxide effect.
