Question

5(a). Predict the product for the following reaction.
  

Brz light

(b). Provide an arrow-pushing mechanism for the reaction above that accounts for the formation of the product. Explicitly include all non-bonding electrons and charges. Indicate whether each step is an initiation, chain propagation, or termination.
(c). An additional product, shown below, is formed in the reaction from part (a). Provide an arrow-pushing mechanism that accounts for the formation of the
additional product. (You may start from any intermediate from part (b)).
