1-pentene reacts with HCl in presence of benzoyl peroxide to give-----as major product.
1-chloro pentane
2-chloro pentane
2,2-dimethyl -1-chloro propane
1-chloro-3-methyl butane
H-Cl bond enthalpy is very high. Peroxide cannot break HCl into free radicals. Thus ionic mechanism is followed.
CH3-CH2-CH2-CH=CH2→H+CH3-CH2-CH2-C+H-CH2more stable ; CH3-CH2-CH2-C+H-CH2more stable →Cl-CH3-CH2-CH2-CHCl-CH2major ;
