(a)
Interpretation:
The mechanism for the free-radical addition of hydrogen bromide to cyclohexene initiated by
Concept introduction:
The general steps followed by free-radical addition reaction are stated below:
• First step is initiation that involves formation of radical.
• Second step is propagation.
• Third step is the termination that involves the formation of stable bond
(b)
Interpretation:
The three radical recombination products that might be formed in small amounts in the termination phase of the reaction are to be suggested.
