Chapter 10, Problem 38DSP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The combination of alkene and alkyl halide that must be treated with tributyltin hydride in order to prepare the compound shown by free radical addition is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Tributyltin hydride is a reducing agent. It converts an alkyl halide to an alkane through the formation of an alkyl free radical.

This free radical can undergo a reaction with another molecule having a double bond.

The two ends of the double bond are two possible sites of reaction.

The reaction proceeds to form the more stable free radical.

The more stable free radical is the one which is more substituted.
