hi, i just wanted to know what would happen if i had the following compound in a solution of OH radicals.

thanks

What are some reactions that OH radicals are known to execute with the given substrate?

Radicals only do a few things.  Halogen abstraction, proton abstraction, reproportionation, adding to alkenes and alkynes.   
In your molecule, you pretty much have two kinds of protons.  Is it going to do proton abstraction from the 2° carbon or the 3° carbon is the basis of this question. 

I am unsure about how selective the hydroxidy radical is, but the bromine radical would exlcusively abstract the 3° proton.  Chlorine is around only 60% for that proton.  The fact that you have 2 protons on a 2° carbon makes it statistically more likely, but the 3° carbon-H bond is weaker making it easier to abstract.

To my knowledge hydroxyl radical is very reactive so it doesnt differentiate much IMO. I suppose you get mixture of many products
