Radical Addition Of HBr To Alkenes w ROOR (Peroxides) - Mechanism F R Mayo was a student of the prominent chemist M S Kharasch, and together they first described the “peroxide effect” in the anti-Markovnikov addition of HBr to alkenes, ascribing it to a free-radical mechanism
Hydrogen Bromide and Alkenes: The Peroxide Effect This page gives you the facts and simple uncluttered mechanisms for the free radical addition of hydrogen bromide to alkenes - often known as the "peroxide effect"
Free-Radical Addition of HBr: Anti-Markovnikov Addition Interestingly, in the presence of peroxides, HBr forms the less substituted alkyl bromide: This is called anti-Markovnikov, free radical addition to an alkene, and is only efficient when the HBr is used Let’s see how this happens
Anti-Markovnikov Hydrohalogenation of Alkenes (HBr ROOR) Peroxide-initiated hydrohalogenation channels alkenes through a radical chain Heat or light cleaves the O–O bond of the peroxide, forming alkoxy radicals that convert HBr into Br· Bromine radicals add to the less substituted alkene carbon so that the more substituted carbon bears the radical
10. 8. Anti-Markovnikov additions to alkenes and alkynes | Organic . . . Hydroboration-oxidation is a two step pathway used to produce alcohols The reaction proceeds in an anti-Markovnikov manner, where the hydrogen (from BH 3 or BHR 2) attaches to the more substituted carbon and the boron attaches to the least substituted carbon in the alkene double bond
Addition of HBr to Alkenes – Master Organic Chemistry Early paper from the 50’s by Prof George Hammond (of Hammond’s Postulate) on the mechanism of HBr addition to 1,2-dimethylcyclohexane He prefers a concerted pathway, although that might due to the conditions he employs – in pentane, a very nonpolar solvent, polar intermediates are disfavored
Ch 6: Alkene + HBr (radical) - Faculty of Science Reaction proceeds via the more stable radical intermediate An electrophilic bromine radical adds to the alkene to generate the 2 o radical Radical abstracts a H atom from another molecule of HBr, creating the alkyl bromide and another bromine radical
