Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The product for the given reaction should be identified.

Concept introduction:

Radical or free radical: unpaired valence electron of an atom, molecule, or ion is called as radical.

Anti-Markovnikov’s rule: unsymmetrical alkene reacts with hydrogen halide, halide ions goes to the less substitution position of carbon-carbon double bond which provides alkyl halides.

Chiral: Four different atoms attached to a carbon atom is called chiral molecule.

Stereoisomers: Stereoisomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula and they differ only in arrangement of atom in three-dimensional space.

Enantiomers: Two compounds which are non-superimposable mirror image of each other are called as enantiomers.

Diastereomers: Two molecules are considered to be diasteromers if they are non-super imposable and non-mirror image of each other.

Racemic mixture: A racemic mixture is simply a mixture containing an equal amount of each enantiomer
