Step by step solution

Bromination of allylic alkenes

In this reaction, the two product formed are not in equal proportions. The reaction at the two ends is not equal because of the formation of a unsymmetrical allylic radical. Thus, the reaction at the primary end (which is less hindered) is favoured.

Bromination of 2-methylhex-3-ene

Bromination of 2-methylhex-3-ene with NBS results in the formation of four different bromohexenes and two different allylic radicals.

The reaction is given below:
