a chemist requires a large amount of 1-bromo-5-methyl-2-hexene as starting material for a synthesis and decides to carry out the following nbs allylic bromination reaction in the presence of uv light. draw the structures of all of the observed products.

Respuesta :

NBS is used to supply a low concentration of bromine in order to achieve allylic rather than vicinal bromination of 1-bromo-5-methyl-2-hexene.

N-Bromosuccinimide (NBS) is generally used as the reagent for the allylic bromination of alkenes. NBS produces a low concentration of bromine to allow the bromination reaction to occur.

The reaction occurs by free radical mechanism. In the allylic bromination of  1-bromo-5-methyl-2-hexene, two products are possible as shown in the image attached to this answer.
