Question

Ph-CH=CH$_2 \xrightarrow[\text{(PhCOO)}_2]{\text{HBr}}$ Product.
Correct statement(s) regarding product :
(a) Ph-CH(Br)-CH$_3$ is minor product
(b) Benzene is also form a bi product
(c) Reaction follow free radical mechanism
(d) In absence of peroxide carbocation mechanism is followed

• A. b, c
• B. a, c, d
• C. c, d
• D. a, b, c

Hint:

Peroxide Effect applies only to HBr. Major product is determined by the stability of the intermediate free radical (Benzyl>$3^\circ>2^\circ>1^\circ$).
