An alkene is treated with HBr (in the absence of
peroxides), so we expect a Markovnikov addition of H and Br across the π bond. That is, Br is installed at the more substituted position:
An alkene is treated with HBr in the presence of
peroxides, so we expect an anti-Markovnikov addition ofH and Br across the bond. That is, Br is installed at the
less substituted position
An alkene is treated with HI, so we expect a
Markovnikov addition of H and I across the bond. That is, iodine is installed at the more substituted position
