Chapter 3, Problem 25P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:Potential-energy/reaction-coordinate diagrams for the two propagation steps of the radical bromination of benzene should be sketched.

Concept introduction: Analogous to hydrocarbons the benzene can also undergo initiation to generate bromine radicals; propagation of radicals formed and finally termination. This sequence can be outlined as follows:

Step1: Initiation via homolytic cleavage of BrBr bond: Br2 initiates the reaction; undergoes homolysis and forms bromine radical atom. Energy for homolytic cleavage is provided by the heat or ultraviolet light.

Step2: Propagation: In first of the propagation steps, bromine radical from step 1 abstracts hydrogen radical from C6H6 as follows:

In subsequent propagation step,phenyl radical abstracts Br· radical from another Br2 , and liberates bromobenzene and new bromine radical.

Step3: Termination: Bromine radicals generated in propagation steps get quenched upon combination with one another illustrated as follows:

Please help me answer this question. I don't understand how or even if this can happen in a single transformation. Please provide a detailed explanation and a drawing showing how it can happen in a single transformation.    Add the necessary reagents and reaction conditions above and below the arrow in this organic reaction. If the products can't be made from the reactant with a single transformation, check the box under the drawing area instead.
2) Draw the correct chemical structure (using line-angle drawings / "line structures") from their given IUPAC name: a. (E)-1-chloro-3,4,5-trimethylhex-2-ene b. (Z)-4,5,7-trimethyloct-4-en-2-ol C. (2E,6Z)-4-methylocta-2,6-diene
