Radicals, anti-Markovnikov elimination

Selenosulfonates (see also Section 3.6.2.3) add to alkenes when catalyzed by Lewis acids. These adducts are transformed via oxidative elimination to vinyl sulfones in good overall yields. Similar to other methods only trans addition is observed. Mixtures of regioisomers are often produced with unsyminetri-cal unactivated alkenes. All other alkenes (i.e. styrene and acrylonitrile) provide Maikovnikov additions. Radical processes yield anti-Markovnikov adducts. Thus, either regioisomeric vinyl sulfone may be prepared from almost any activated alkene by simply varying the mode of addition. ... 

Simultaneous introduchon of both sulfur and selenium functions into carbon-carbon unsaturated compounds via a radical mechanism is also demonstrated by selenosulfonahori [149] and selenothiocarboxylatiorl [150] (Scheme 15.70). In these addihon reactions, attack of sulfur-centered radicals at the terminal position of alkenes and the subsequent Sh2 reaction on the selenium lead to the formahon of anti-Markovnikov adducts regioselechvely. The selenosulfonahon can be apphed to a variety of unsaturated compounds, for example alkynes, allenes, and vinylcyclopropanes, and combination with the selenoxide syn-elimination procedure... 

Synthesize the compound shown below from methylcyclopentane and 2-methylpropane using those compounds as the source of the carbon atoms and any other reagents necessary. Synthetic tools you might need include Markovnikov or anti-Markovnikov hydration, Markovnikov or anti-Markovnikov hydrobromination, radical halogenation, elimination, and nucleophilic substitution reactions.
