The radical chain begins (initiation) with the photochemical cleavage of a Br-Br bond, affording two bromine atoms (Br ): Br-Br Br + Then, the propagation steps take place. First, the bromine atom reacts with the substrate to afford a resonance-stabilized benzylic radical. Represent this process and the different resonance forms of the resulting radical: СООН Br HBr + > H.

Alkyl halides can be reduced to alkanes by a radical reaction with tributyltin hydride, (C4H9)3SnH, in the presence of light (hv). Propose a radical chain mechanism by which the reaction might occur. The initiation step is the light-induced homolytic cleavage of the Sn-H bond to yield a tributyltin radical.

Plastic photochromic sunglasses are based on the following reversible rearrangement of a dye inside the lenses that occurs when the lenses are exposed to sunlight. The original dye absorbs UV light but not visible light and is thus colorless, while the rearrangement product absorbs visible light and is thus darkened. (a) Show the mechanism of the rearrangement. (b) Why does the rearrangement product absorb at a longer wavelength (visible light) than the original dye (UV)?
