Chapter 10, Problem 37P

The halogen atom of an alkyl halide can be replaced by the hydrogen atom bonded to tin in tributytin hydride ( B u 3 S n H ) . The process, called dehalogenation, is a radical reaction, and it can be initiated by AIBN (2, 2'-azobisisobutyronitrile). AIBN decomposes to form nitrogen gas and two isobutyronitrile radicals, which initiate the reaction. Write a mechanism for the reaction.

Describe how the oxidation of hydrocarbons in the presence of NOx can increase the yield of ozone including reaction cycle diagrams showing the importance of radical chemistry. Discuss why it is important to understand the chemistry controlling radical loss, to know which emissions (NOx or hydrocarbons) to control.
The chlorination of ethane produces many by-products. One by-product that forms in small amounts is 2-chlorobutane. Suggest a mechanism for the formation of 2-chlorobutane from the radical chlorination of ethane. (NOTES: intermediates can only have one radical, 2-chlorobutane should be the product of your termination step, any intermediate radical formed during the propagation phase can be used in the termination step)
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:
