Question:

Draw a reaction-energy diagram for the propagation steps of the free-radical addition of HBr to isobutylene. Draw curves representing the reactions leading to both the Markovnikov and the anti-Markovnikov products. Compare the values of ΔG° and Ea for the rate-limiting steps, and explain why only one of these products is observed.
