Using the Reactivity-Selectivity Principle to Predict Product Distributions of Halogenation Part 2

In this video, we will continue predicting product distributions of radical substitution (halogenation) reactions using what we learned in the Reactivity-Selectivity Principle and Predicting Product Distributions Part 1 videos. This is the third of a 3-part series on the RSP and here we will encounter molecules with multiple primary positions and what that means for product distributions. You can extend this idea to multiple secondary or tertiary positions but in the interest of making a short video, I did not do this!

Best of luck with your calculations!
