Steps to assign E and Z descriptors
• For each C atom, assign substituent priority
• Z if highest priority substituents on same side of double bond
• E if highest priority substituents on opposite side of double bond

Anti-Markovnikov Product Formation from Mechanism of Radical Chain Addition
Radical Addition of Alkenes
Some weak bonds have a tendency to fragment initiation
homolytically e.g., peroxides
