Interpretation:
A detailed mechanism to account for given reaction including an initiation step, propagation steps, and two plausible termination steps is to be provided.
Concept introduction:
A free radical chain reaction involves free radicals in a cyclic sequence of steps, called propagation steps, which are responsible for converting overall reactants into overall products. Throughout the sequence of propagation steps, also called the propagation cycle, there is no net consumption of free radicals. The overall reaction is obtained by summing just the propagation steps. An initiation step is responsible for producing the free radical that enters the propagation cycle. A termination step removes free radicals from the propagation cycle and is responsible for slowing the overall reaction.

- Using what we have learned in CHEM 2310 and up through class on 1/31, propose a series of reaction steps to achieve the transformation below. Be sure to show all reagents and intermediates for full credit. You do not need to draw mechanism arrows, but you do need to include charges where appropriate. If you do not put your group name, you will get half credit at most. ?
