Chapter 10, Problem 1PP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The radicals, in order of theirs decreasing stability, are to be listed.

Concept introduction:

A molecule that contains at least one unpaired electron is known as a radical.

The relative stability of radicals is the same as that of carbocations.

The stability of radicals is as follows:

3°>2°>1°>methyl

The radical is a methyl radical. So, it is the least stable.

The radical is given as follows:

The carbon containing the unpaired electron is primary. Thus, the radical is a primary radical.

The radical is given as follows:

The carbon containing the unpaired electron is tertiary. Thus, the radical is a tertiary radical.

The radical is given as follows:

The carbon containing the unpaired electron is secondary. Thus, the radical is a secondary radical.

Therefore, the tertiary radical is the most stable and the methyl radical is the least stable.

Hence, the decreasing order of the stability of the radical is as follows:

How many signals do you expect in the H NMR spectrum for this molecule? Br Br Write the answer below. Also, in each of the drawing areas below is a copy of the molecule, with Hs shown. In each copy, one of the H atoms is colored red. Highlight in red all other H atoms that would contribute to the same signal as the H already highlighted red. Note for advanced students: In this question, any multiplet is counted as one signal. Number of signals in the 'H NMR spectrum. For the molecule in the top drawing area, highlight in red any other H atoms that will contribute to the same signal as the H atom already highlighted red. If no other H atoms will contribute, check the box at right. No additional Hs to color in top molecule For the molecule in the bottom drawing area, highlight in red any other H atoms that will contribute to the same signal as the H atom already highlighted red. If no other H atoms will contribute, check the box at right. No additional Hs to color in bottom molecule
