    Isobutyl bromide may be obtained from isobutylene and HBr in the presence of

    A)  peroxide                            

    B)  hydroquinone

    C)  diphenyl amine               

    D)  all of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    The reaction occurs only in the presence of peroxides because hydroquinone and diphenyl amine, are in fact radical scavengers. \[\underset{isobutylene}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{C{{H}_{3}}}{\mathop{\overset{\mathbf{|}}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,=C{{H}_{2}}}}\,\xrightarrow[peroxide]{HBr}\underset{isobutyl\,bromide}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{C{{H}_{3}}}{\mathop{\overset{\mathbf{|}}{\mathop{CH}}\,}}\,-C{{H}_{2}}Br}}\,\]
