Chapter 28, Problem 60P

Although chain branching in radical polymerizations can occur by intermolecular Habstraction as shown in Mechanism 30.2, chain branching can also occur by intramolecularH abstraction to form branched polyethylene that contains butyl groups asbranches.

Chapter 28, Problem 60P, 30.59 Although chain branching in radical polymerizations can occur by intermolecular H abstraction

a. Draw a stepwise mechanism that illustrates which H must be intramolecularly abstracted to form butyl substituents.

b. Suggest a reason why the abstraction of this H is more facile than the abstraction of other H’s.

A student proposes the following two-step synthesis of an ether from an alcohol A: 1. strong base A 2. R Is the student's proposed synthesis likely to work? If you said the proposed synthesis would work, enter the chemical formula or common abbreviation for an appropriate strong base to use in Step 1: If you said the synthesis would work, draw the structure of an alcohol A, and the structure of the additional reagent R needed in Step 2, in the drawing area below. If there's more than one reasonable choice for a good reaction yield, you can draw any of them. ☐ Click and drag to start drawing a structure. Yes No ロ→ロ 0|0 G Х D : ☐ ப
