In this video, you’ll learn how the radical halogenation of an alkene in the presence of peroxides differs from the typical hydrohalogenation alkene addition reaction. You’ll learn how to apply initiation and propagation steps of the radical mechanism, how to identify the most stable intermediate, and understand why the anti-Markovnikov product is favored.
You’ll also learn about the stereochemistry of alkene radical halogenation.
