Chapter 12, Problem 29P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The major product obtained by the reaction of excess of given compound with Cl2 in presence of ultraviolet light should be identified.

Concept introduction:

Radical or free radical: unpaired valence electron of an atom, molecule, or ion is called as radical.

Bond strength is depends on the formation of the radical, if the radical is involving in resonance which is weakest bond strength.

Chlorination:

Compound F may be synthesised by the method attached: When 2-chloropropane treated with NaOH and 1-chloropropane treated with NaOH separately produce two different functional groups. Provide both reactions and explain the two different functional groups produced.
Explain this observation: Ethyl 3-phenylpropanoate (C6H5CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3) reacts with electrophiles to afford ortho- and para-disubstituted arenes, but ethyl 3-phenylprop-2-enoate (C6H5CH=CHCO2CH2CH3) reacts with electrophiles to afford meta- disubstituted arenes.
Compound A has molecular formula C7H15B.. Treatment of compound A with sodium ethoxide yields only one elimination product (compound B) and no substitution products. When compound B is treated with dilute sulfuric acid, compound C is obtained, which has molecular formula C7H160. Draw the structures of compounds A, B, and C.
