Hi everyone...I had a quick organic question. Does Br2 with hv add via markovnikov or anti markovnikov to double bonds?

Thanks!

its anti-addition, I'm not quite sure if its anti-Markovnikov per say, but the Br2does add in an anti fashion across the double bond. Hope this helps, good luck,

I'm sorry, I phrased the question wrong! There is a quesiton on the achiever where you have methylene cycloheptane and it is reacted with Br2 and hv and I dont quite understand why it adds to the methylene group and not the secondary carbon it is bonded to.

Also, would NBS do the same thing?
