Question #27996

what happens when 1 propene is treated with hbr

Expert's answer

When one propene is treated with HBr, the reaction occurs at the Markovnikov rule, which states that the proton is attached to the most hydrogenated carbon atom.
Write the reaction:

CH2=CH-CH3 + HBr --> CH3-CH(Br)-CH3

In the presence of peroxides can be a reaction against the Markovnikov rule:

CH2=CH-CH3 + HBr => (ROOR) => CH2(Br)-CH2-CH3
