What is the product for the following reaction sequence? 1. Br2, hv 2. H2O
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to determine the product of a given chemical reaction sequence involving bromination followed by hydrolysis. It provides a starting compound and asks to identify the correct product from a list of structures (I, II, III, IV, V).
Answer
V
The final answer is V.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is V.
More Information
In bromination under hv, the most stable radical, typically at a tertiary carbon, is favored. The subsequent reaction with water replaces bromine with a hydroxyl group, resulting in an alcohol.
Tips
A common mistake is not identifying the most stable radical for bromination, often leading to incorrect substitution locations.
