Addition across conjugated dienes - Minor products


While adding HBr to hexa-2,4-diene are the Anti-Markonikoff products formed at all?

i.e. is 5-bromohex-2-ene formed?

If yes, approximately to what percentage? 1%?

Also, please can I have links to sources that state this for this general reaction (addition to conj dienes)?

Please, be more specific. Are you asking for references in regard to the ratio between the 1,2- vs. 1,4-conjugate addition of HBr on that hexadienes?

Have you done any literature search at all? It is hard to say you put any effort in this, given you don't provide a single reference. Asking others to do a literature search for you, without demonstrating of having invested some minimum effort yourself, is not a nice thing to do.

PS: Please open referenceless and/or beginner's topics only in the Beginners forum section where this one is being moved.

I think I have described what I want pretty clearly.
I do not want the ratio between the 1,2 vs. 1,4 conjugate addition of HBr on the hexadiene.
The 1,2 vs 1,4 ratio is likely to be around 40% and 60%, varying with temperature. I know this.
I just want to know whether a 1,2 antimarkonikoff product will be formed, and if so, how much % of the final product will that be? At room temperature.

I tried looking this up in literature, but all it ever mentions are the 1,2 vs 1,4 products - variation with temperature, kinetic control, thermodynamic control, etc. (found in lots of books - solomon, morrison & boyd, march, etc.) , not whether two different 1,2 products are formed as well (markonikoff and anti markonikoff). That is what I would like to know.

I found it pretty churlish that you would berate me on the effort I've put in without even waiting for me to answer. I thought I was specific enough. I hope there is no confusion on what I'm looking for now.

Please let me know if any additional detail is required.

And if possible, I would like a link to the literature that states anything about anti-markonikoff addition for 1, 2 products for the general reaction (addn to conj dienes)
