Chemistry question 1 When HBr reacts with an unsymmetrical alkene, e.g. Me2C=CH2, two products are possible. a) when the reaction is carried out in the presence of a radical initiator, the alternative product ( the anti Markovnikov product) usually predominates. Give the mechanism for this reaction, and hence an explaination of the product distribution. b) give the mechanism for the reaction between CH2=CH2 and O3 and name the products formed.
