1) Recognize the different steps of this isomerization.

2) Assuming the stationary state on the radicals, give the expression of the formation speed of the ketone P as a function of [I], [S] and velocity constants.

The isomerization of a-benzyloxystvrene (noted S) to ketone (noted P) is investigated at 59.65°C:
CH;CH,O-
CH2
CHs
C-CH,C,H5
This reaction is carried out using an azo-bis įsobutyronitrile initiator (noted I).
The mechanism proposed is as follows:

a) Pis ketone, Pi is a secondary product of the reaction, B• is benzyl radical and R• radical
formed by dissociation of I.
1) Recognize the different steps of this isomerization.
2) Assuming the stationary state on the radicals, give the expression of the formation speed
of the ketone P as a function of [1], [S] and velocity constants.
