3 - Methylhex-2-ene on reaction with HBr in presence of peroxide forms an addition product (A). The number…
Solution
The hydrogen bromide addition in peroxides follows Anti Markovnikov rule. Anti Markovnikov addition reaction is found to follow a free radical mechanism. The peroxide compound involved helps in the generation of free radicals. The Anti-Markovnikov rule defines regiochemistry in which the substituent is attached to a less substituted carbon instead of the more substituted carbon.
The reaction of Methylhex-2-ene with in presence of peroxide, takes place as follows,

chiral carbons, here, so, total number of stereoisomers will be
