Question
Chapter 10, Problem 24P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the fact that peroxides are especially effective as radical initiators is to be explained. Also, the mechanism for the reaction representing how it could be initiated by di-tert-butyl peroxide is to be written.
Concept Introduction:
Peroxides are the class of compounds in which two oxygen atoms are joined together by a single covalent bond.
In the free radical mechanism of the peroxide, the free radicals produced by an oxygen-oxygen bond initiate the chain.
Then, a hydrogen atom is extracted by these free radicals to produce an alkyl radical which attacks bromine molecule.

Resveratrol is an antioxidant found in the skin of red grapes. Its anticancer, anti-inammatory, and various cardiovascular effects are under active investigation. (a) Draw all resonance structures for the radical that results from homolysis of the OH bond shown in red. (b) Explain why homolysis of this OH bond is preferred to homolysis of either OH bond in the other benzene ring.

Compounds containing a phenol group may work as ANTIOXIDANTS to prevent free radical damage. This is accomplished when a free radical (or UV light) encounters a phenol group, turning the phenol group into a radical. However, contrary to typical radical behavior, the structure of the phenol radical can neutralize (or quench) the unpaired electron. Specifically, the phenol structure neutralizes (or quenches) the unpaired radical electron by doing the following: taking the electron and ---------. The correct name (or abbreviation) of an example compound (discussed in the lecture videos) containing a phenol group with antioxidant properties is: ---------.
