Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The hydrogen atom that gets easily abstracted from the given molecule vitamin E should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Radical or free radical: The unpaired valence electron of an atom, molecule, or ion is called as radical. The stability order for radical is as follows,

benzylic>allylic>tertiary>secondary>primary>methyl

The movement of single electron present in the molecule is usually denoted by using the half headed arrows called fishhook arrows.

Resonance: The molecule is said to have resonance structures if it has more than one structure by migrating lone pair, radical or the phi bonds present in the molecule.

Resonance stabilization: Due to the delocalization of electrons within the molecule the overall energy becomes lower and makes the molecule more stable.

Bond strength present in the molecule depends on the formation of the radical, if the radical formed is resonance stabilized then the bond associated with it is weak than the other bond present in the molecule.

Predict the major products of this reaction: ་ ་ + H NaOH ? Δ excess Note that the second reactant is used in excess, that is, there is much more of the second reactant than the first. If there won't be any products, just check the box under the drawing area instead.
P A student claims the right-hand side of the reaction in the drawing area below shows the product of a Claisen condensation. • If the student is correct, complete the reaction by adding the necessary organic reactants to the left-hand side, and by adding any necessary reagents and reaction conditions above and below the arrow. • If the student is incorrect, because it's not possible to obtain this product from a Claisen condensation, check the box under the drawing area instead. those that will minimize any byproducts or competing • Note for advanced students: If you have a choice, use the most efficient reactants and reagents reactions. - ☐ ☐ : ☐ + I Х Click and drag to start drawing a structure.
