A play written, directed and produced by me!

This video takes a radical rxn and turns it into a serious drama.

The reaction:
1-Butene + Hydrogen Bromide ----(Peroxides & light/heat---- = 1-Bromobutane

The mechanism:
a)INITIATION
step 1)dissociation of a peroxide into two alkoxy radicals
step 2) Alkoxy radical takes a hydrogen away from the hydrogen bromide

b) CHAIN PROPAGATION
step 3)Addition of a bromine atom to the alkene
step 4) Abstraction of a hydrogen atom from HBR by the free radical formed in step 3.

ENJOY :)
