Chapter 10.SE, Problem 35AP

Alkylbenzenes such as toluene (methylbenzene) react with NBS to give products in which bromine substitution has occurred at the position next to the aromatic ring (the benzylic position). Explain, based on the bond dissociation energies in Table 6-3 on page 170.

b) Fill in the gaps by drawing the structures of the missing reagents, intermediates and/or products of the following electrophilic aromatic substitutions. Chemical formulas have been added for guidance. Step 1 Step 2 CH3 HNO3 H2 1. C6H5NO2 C,HgN H2SO4 `NO2 Pd/C 1 2 4 CH3 Br2/FeBr3 C3H;Bro 5 6 Using resonance structures, justify whether the acetyl group of compound 5 will direct the bromination reaction to the meta or ortho/para positions.
(3) HI does not undergo free radical addition with 1-butene, even in the presence of a peroxide. Please provide an explanation by analyzing the propagation steps if the same radical reaction occurred with HI. Besides the bond dissociation enthalpies in the appendix, the following approximate bond dissociate enthalpies might be useful to you: ~310 kJ/mol The component of C=C CH3CH₂CH₂CH₂-Br CH3CH₂CH₂CH2-I -290 kJ/mol (C-Br bond) ~235 kJ/mol (C-I bond)
Please answer part b and c
