The major product of the following chemical reaction is : CH3CH=CH2+HBr(C6H5CO)2O2?\text{CH}_3-\text{CH}=\text{CH}_2 + \text{HBr} \xrightarrow{(\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{CO})_2\text{O}_2} ?

Step-by-Step Solution

The reaction proceeds via a free radical mechanism (peroxide effect/anti-Markovnikov addition). The bromine radical adds to the terminal carbon to form a more stable secondary free radical intermediate, leading to the formation of 1-bromopropane as the major product.
