Answer:
1) 2-bromobutane
2) 1-bromobutane
Explanation:
In the HBr reaction, we will have a <u>markovniknov reaction</u> due to the <u>carbocation formation</u>. The Br- then would be added in the <u>most substituted</u> carbon of the double bond.
In the HBr/peroxide reaction we have the opposite case: an <u>anti-markovnikov reaction</u>. Therefore the Br- would be added in the <u>least substitued</u> carbon of the double bond.
