Chad summarizes the three free radical halogenation reactions: chlorination, bromination, and allylic or benzylic bromination with NBS. He explains the selectivity associated with bromination reactions and how to calculate the relative amounts of products formed in free radical chlorination and bromination reactions. He then covers allylic bromination and benzylic bromination using N-bromosuccinimide (NBS). Finally, Chad concludes the lessons by providing an example of how to determine the number of monochlorination products for a reactant.
