Overview
The vicinal dibromide associated with bromine addition to propene.
One bromine is on a primary carbon and the other on a secondary carbon. The secondary carbon carries four different substituents and is stereogenic. No absolute configuration is assigned here; the record should not be read as one isolated enantiomer.
