Title: Mechanism of Styrene and HBr/H2O2
Post by: DQD on May 11, 2012, 11:30:52 AM

Hi
I have a problem
In Styrene, C₆H₅-C¹H=C²H₂
C¹ has δ+ due to Phenyl group, in H₂O₂, HBr reacts to Styrene by A_R
So the primary product is C₆H₅-CH₂-CH₂Br

Is that right ?
Thanks

What role is the hydrogen peroxide playing?
