Hi there! All kinds of radical are unstable, few are just stable than the others. That second resonance will still react in a Br radical so we can't say that a product will not form out of that primary radical. Theoretically, in some cases, we can't know which of the products will form more than the other so we can't pick which is the major/minor so we just write them as is in the reaction. Hope that clears things up :)
Wouldn't we have to use a reagent such as NBS because using Br2 would compete with bromination of alkenes?
this explanation really helped me a lot. thank you soo muchh
Thank you so much, this was so helpful!
You're welcome! Happy to help :)
And it's the same way with NBS plus ROOR, right?
Isn't a primary radical unstable thus wouldn't form a product from that second second resonance?
