Step by Step Solution
Step 1 of 2
(a)
The product of the given reaction is as follows.
The mechanism of the reaction involved two steps, Initiation and Propagation.
Intialtion:
In this step free radicals are formed. The chemical reaction is as follows.
This free radical attacks on H-Br to form bromine radical.The chemical reaction is as follows.
Propagation:
The bromine free radical attacks and forms a tertiary radical and it is a major product.
