Question

Statement $1$: But-$1$-ene gives $2$-Bromobutane with $HBr$/Peroxide.
Statement $2$: The reaction involves formation of more stable free radical obtained by anti Markovnikof rule.

• A. Statement $1$ is true, statement $2$ is true, statement $2$ is a correct explanation for statement $1$.
• B. Statement $1$ is true, statement $2$ is true, statement $2$ is not a correct explanation for statement$1$.
• C. Statement $1$ is true, statement $2$ is false.
• D. Statement $1$ is false, statement $2$ is true.

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Statement $1$ is false, statement $2$ is true.

But-$1$-ene gives $1$-Bromobutane with $HBr$/Peroxide. The reaction involves formation of more stable free radical the product obtained by anti Markovnikof rule.
