Addition reactions to carbon:carbon double bonds are among the most important free radical reactions employed by chemists. The anti-Markovnikov addition of HBr to alkenes is one such reaction, and the peroxide initiated addition of carbon tetrachloride to 1-hexene is another. As the following equations demonstrate, radical addition to a substituted double bond is regiospecific (i.e. the more stable product radical is preferentially formed in the chain addition process).
The following diagram provides other examples of radical addition to double bonds. The first two equations show how different radicals may be generated selectively from the same compound. Although 2-propanol has three different groups of hydrogen, simple atom abstraction by an oxy radical occurs exclusively at the 3º-carbon bonded to oxygen. By using the xanthate derivative, the carbon-oxygen bond may be homolytically cleaved to form the isopropyl radical. Double bond conjugated with carbonyl or nitrile functions are particularly good radical acceptors, as shown in the last two examples.
If a radical transfer reagent, such as an alkyl halide or xanthate, is not present in excess, an alkene derived radical may exist long enough to add to other alkene molecules in a repetitive fashion, leading to a polymeric product, as shown here. The new C–C bond(s) are colored magenta.

Indeed, free radical polymerization of simple substituted alkenes is so facile that bulk quantities of these compounds must be protected by small amounts of radical inhibitors during storage. These inhibitors, or radical scavengers, may themselves be radicals (e.g. oxygen and galvinoxyl) or compounds that react rapidly with propagating radicals to produce stable radical species that terminate the chain. Inhibitors include quinones, substituted phenols, aryl amines and nitro compounds.
