Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Radicals leading to the formation of products in the reaction of propylbenzene with chlorine, in the presence of UV-radiation, are to be written. Also, the formation of 1-chloro 1-phenylpropane as the major product is to be justified.

Concept Introduction:

Radical reactions are those reactions which take place between free radicals in the presence of light energy. In these reactions, changes in bonding occur with hemolysis.

Higher alkanes react with halogens by a free radical mechanism to form mono, di, tri and tetra-substituted alkyl halides.

Blurred answer

The relative reactivity of the 1°: 2°: 3° hydrogens of (CH3)3CCH2CH3 in free radical chlorination is 1: 3.8: 5.0. Provide the structure of each monochlorination product, and estimate the relative amount of each in the mixture of monochlorinated products.
Can you help me with question (C)
8. (a) Benzene derivatives exhibit medium to strong absorption in UV-region. Explain why aniline and phenoxide ion have strong UV-absorptions.
