Key Points

The aim is to demonstrate bromination and hydrogen bromide addition reactions in a laboratory setting.
Conducted free radical bromination of tetralin.
Performed addition of hydrogen bromide to 3,3-dimethyl-1-butene.
Provided literature descriptions for product evaluation by students.
Major products from bromination were naphthalene, 1-bromonaphthalene, and 1,4-dibromonaphthalene.
The major product from hydrogen bromide addition was either 1-bromo-3,3-dimethylbutane or 2-bromo-2,3-dimethylbutane, depending on conditions.

Implication

Laboratory techniques yield unexpected products in bromination and alkene addition reactions, highlighting synthesis nuances.
