11. Radical Reactions / Anti Markovnikov Addition of Br / Problem 1

Retrosynthetic analysis is a process that is the reverse of designing the synthesis of a novel compound, which usually takes a multistep process. Using only one-step retrosynthesis, propose an alkene and the reagents needed to produce the product given below. (Note: the alkene should not undergo rearrangement.)

Chemical structure of an alkene with Br substituent for retrosynthetic analysis.
