Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The product of the given reaction should be given.

Concept introduction:

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

Bromination:

2-methyl propane undergoes radical bromination which yields the 2-bromo-2-methylpropane.because bromination will occur where the tertiary radical is present.(Bromination reactions are more selective reaction).

The mechanism of monobromination of ethane (as an example) includes three steps,

  1. (i) Initiation
  2. (ii) Propagation
  3. (iii) Termination

Thus the mechanism of monobromination of ethane is shown below,

In a halogenation reaction, one or more halogen atoms are introduced into an organic compound. Generally, these reactions are initiated in the presence of light or heat.

Bromination will occur on tertiary radical than the secondary than primary radical, tertiary radical is more stable radical than the other radicals.
