Organic Chemistry in Homework Help Posted September 6, 2013 Help please. Which compounds would be formed in the reaction of ethene with aqueous bromine in the presence of sodium chloride? 1 CH2ClCH2Cl 2 CH2BrCH2Cl 3 CH2BrCH2Br I know that electrophilic addition occurs when ethene reacts with bromine. But what happens with NaCl? What kind of reaction is it? Can it be free radical substitution? Is Cl from NaCl a free radical? Because it's not Cl2 where UV light is required to break the bonds to create free radicals. 0

I know that electrophilic addition occurs when ethene reacts with bromine.
But what happens with NaCl? What kind of reaction is it? Can it be free radical substitution?
Is Cl from NaCl a free radical? Because it's not Cl2 where UV light is required to break the bonds to create free radicals.
