Chapter 14, Problem 17P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The numbers of chlorination products obtained from radical chlorination of methyl cyclohexane has to be given.

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.

In a halogenation reaction, one or more halogen atoms are introduced into an organic compound. Generally, these reactions are initiated in the presence of light or heat.

Chlorination:

2-methylpropane undergoes radical chlorination which yields the 2-chloro-2-methylpropane and 1-chloro-2-methylpropane.

The mechanism of monochlorination of ethane (as an example) includes three steps,

  1. (i) Initiation
  2. (ii) Propagation
  3. (iii) Termination

The mechanism of monochlorination of ethane is shown below,

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of monochlorination products obtained from the radical chlorination of methyl cyclohexane should be given when all stereoisomers are included.

Chiral: Four different atoms attached to a carbon atom is called chiral molecule.

Stereoisomers: Stereoisomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula and they differ only in arrangement of atom in three-dimensional space.

Enantiomers: A compound which is non-superimposable mirror image is called enantiomers.

Diastereomers: A compound which is non-superimposable and non-mirror image is called enantiomers

Total number of stereoisomers = 2n

Where n is the number of chiral centers.

Which one? Ca2^- Na2^+ Si2^+ Mg2^- AI2^-
In general, which is more polar, the stationary phase or the mobile phase? The stationary phase is always more polar The mobile phase is always more polar It depends on our choices for both stationary and mobile phase Their polarity doesn't really matter so we never consider it
