It can be done by the free radical addition of HBr on but-1-ene.
Normal addition of HBr on but-1-ene will result in the product of 2-bromobutane.
If the reaction takes place in presence of peroxide, the antimarkownikoffs product , 1-bromobutane will be formed. It is because of the secondary free radical formed during the intermediate process is more stable.
