Coz lesser the hinderance more will be the chance of reaction via free radical


sushank139: but what about the stability gained by a 3° free radical?
shreyasi: It is a highly hindered site so it can not be attacked by the other 3° radical so the hydrogen of neighbouring atom donates its electron and leaves as h● radical
shreyasi: Stability of free radical is of no use if it can not form a compound
