HUNSDIEKER REACTION

None

HUNSDIEKER REACTION

Its given in brilliant package that - d yield and ease of formation of R-X is-

1 degree RX > 2degree RX > 3 degree RX

but actually d reaction proceeds via free radical mechanism so d given order should be just reversed since 3 degree free radical is more stable than 2 degree which is turn is more stable than 1 degree.

Is d given statement true?? plz explain if its true???

since 3degree radicl is the most stable,hence it will react least.
