Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The reason as to why the trityl radical is an unusually stable radical is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Resonance is a phenomenon in which polarity is generated in a molecule by the interaction of the conjugated π- bonds or by interaction of the lone pair of electrons and π- bonds. In this phenomenon, the delocalization of the lone pair of electrons occurs. More the resonating structures of a compound, more stable is the compound.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The process of formation of a dimer, hexaphenylethane from the trityl radicals is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Free radical addition reaction is a reaction in which two stable radicals or a radical and a non radical form a bond by sharing their radicals. The reaction takes place in three steps: chain initiation, chain propagation, and chain termination.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The reason as to why the dimer of two trityl radical, ((4-(diphenylmethylene)cyclohexa-2, 5-dienyl)methanetriyl)tribenzene is formed instead of hexaphenylethane is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Free radical addition reaction is a reaction in which two stable radicals or a radical and a non radical form a bond by sharing their radicals. The reaction takes place in three steps: chain initiation, chain propagation, and chain termination.

03 Question (1 point) For the reaction below, draw both of the major organic products. Be sure to consider stereochemistry. > 1. CH₂CH₂MgBr 2. H₂O 3rd attempt Draw all four bonds at chiral centers. Draw all stereoisomers formed. Draw the structures here. e 130 AN H See Periodic Table See Hint P C Br
You may wish to address the following issues in your response if they are pertinent to the reaction(s) you propose to employ:1) Chemoselectivity (why this functional group and not another?) 2) Regioselectivity (why here and not there?) 3) Stereoselectivity (why this stereoisomer?) 4) Changes in oxidation state.   Please make it in detail and draw it out too in what step what happens. Thank you for helping me!
1) Chemoselectivity (why this functional group and not another?)   2) Regioselectivity (why here and not there?)   3) Stereoselectivity (why this stereoisomer?)   4) Changes in oxidation state.  Everything in detail and draw out and write it.
