Chapter 10, Problem 39P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for the enhance rate of substitution at C5 in 2,2 dimethyl hexane is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

The breaking of a covalent bond in a way that each atom takes one electron from the shared pair is called homolytic fission.

Homolytic fission results in the formation of a radical, and the order of stability of the radical is as follows:

1o<2o<3o

Free radical halogenation is a reaction that substitutes a chlorine for a hydrogen on an alkane. This reaction is a photochemical one. That is, it occurs only when performed in the presence of uv light

Free radical reactions are described in three steps: initiation steps, propagation steps, and termination steps

Use the Hammond postulate to explain why (CH3)2C = CH2 reacts faster than CH3CH = CH2 in electrophilic addition of HX.
2.) Draw out an oligomer of DP=5 for each of these polymers. Disregard stereochemistry (for now). tito n NH₂
(R)-2-butanol reacts with phosphorus tribromide to give A (C4H9Br). Treatment of A with sodium cyanide in DMF gives B (C5H9)N. B is optically active. Draw the structure of B. • Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists. Show stereochemistry in a meso compound. Sn [F ? ChemDoodleⓇ
