MCQ
Which of the following species is paramagnetic in nature
  • A
    Carbanion
  • B
    Carbonium ion
  • Free radical
  • D
    All the above

Answer

Correct option: C.
Free radical
c
(c) Without intermediate reaction take place as under

$C{H_3} - CH = C{H_2} + HBr \to C{H_3} - \mathop {\mathop C\limits^| H}\limits^{Br\,} - C{H_3}$

(According to markownikoff rule)

But the halogen bonded with terminal carbon so it take place in presence of peroxide by free radical mechanism.

$\mathop {R - O - OR}\limits_{{\rm{peroxide}}} \to 2R\mathop O\limits^. $; $HBr + \mathop {RO}\limits^. \to ROH + B{r^.}$

$C{H_3} - CH = C{H_2} + B{r^.} \to C{H_3} - C\mathop H\limits^. - C{H_2} - Br$

$C{H_3} - \mathop C\limits^. H - C{H_2}Br + HBr \to $ $C{H_3} - C{H_2} - C{H_2}Br + B{r^.}$
