tert-Butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) serves as the source of peroxide radicals. The peroxide radical generated from TBHP is key to the hydrogen atom transfer process, which is a central step in the hydrofunctionalization of alkenes. These radicals are involved in abstracting hydrogen atoms from the alkyl group, enabling the addition of functional groups to the alkene in a Markovnikov-selective manner.
