$HBr$

Vedclass · Answer

(B) The Kharasch effect or peroxide effect is observed only in the case of $HBr$ addition to unsymmetrical alkenes in the presence of organic peroxides.In the case of $HCl$,the $H-Cl$ bond is too strong to be broken by free radicals.In the case of $HI$,the $I$ free radicals combine to form $I_2$ molecules instead of adding to the double bond.Therefore,only $HBr$ exhibits the anti-Markovnikov addition via the free radical mechanism.

Among $HCl$,$HBr$,and $HI$,which reactant gives the Kharasch effect (peroxide effect) with an alkene?
