Question

The following reaction proceeds through the intermediate formation of
$$RCOOAg + B{r_2} \to RBr + C{O_2} + AgBr$$

A. $$RCO{O^ \bullet }$$
B. $${R^ \bullet }$$
C. $$B{r^ \bullet }$$
D. $${\text{All of these}}$$  
Answer :   $${\text{All of these}}$$
Solution :
Mechanism of Hunsdiecker’s reaction is
\[\begin{align} & R-CO{{O}^{-}}A\overset{+}{\mathop{g}}\,\xrightarrow[-AgBr]{B{{r}_{2}}}RCOOBr\to RCO\overset{\bullet }{\mathop{O}}\,+\overset{\bullet }{\mathop{Br}}\,\to {{R}^{\bullet }}+C{{O}_{2}}; \\ & {{R}^{\bullet }}+RCOO\,Br\to R-Br+RCO\overset{\bullet }{\mathop{O}}\, \\ \end{align}\]
