CH3 - underset undersetD|CH - underset undersetCH3| overset•C - CH3 is the tertiary free radical which is the most stable amongst the given options.

Q. Consider the following reaction.
$H_{3} C - D ∣ C H - C H_{3} ∣ C H - C H_{3} B r^{•} \to X + H B r$
Identify the structure of the major product $X$ .

$H_{3} C - D ∣ C H - C H_{3} ∣ C H - C • H_{2}$

$H_{3} C - D ∣ C H - C H_{3} ∣ C • - C H_{3}$

$H_{3} C - D ∣ C • - C H_{3} ∣ C H - C H - 3$

$H_{3} C - C H • - C H_{3} ∣ C H - C H_{3}$

$C H_{3} - D ∣ C H - C H_{3} ∣ C • - C H_{3}$ is the tertiary free radical

which is the most stable amongst the given options.

Q. Consider the following reaction. H3​C−D∣​CH​−CH3​∣​CH​−CH3​Br•→X+HBr Identify the structure of the major product X.
