Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of the major organic products formed by free-radical bromination of each of the given compounds is to be written.

Concept Introduction:

>

Halogenation of alkanes proceeds though the formation of free radicals and the product formation depends on the stability of the free radical intermediate.

>

The tertiary free radicals are more stable than primary and secondary free radicals.

>

In the free radical bromination of alkanes, preferably, the tertiary hydrogen is replaced by bromine.
