I would like to find out why the addition of HBr seems to be anti-Markovnikov. I would have thought that the Br

Dear
Amcavoy
,
This addition of hydrogen bromide is
contrary
to hydrogen chloride and hydrogen iodide a “
Free Radical Addition
” and that follows the “Anti-“ Rule.
For more Information see under “
Free Radical Addition
" on:
"
Markovnikov's Rule
”
Good Luck!
