Chapter 3, Problem 30P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:Whether products with reasonable selectivity are obtained should be identified.

  Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function, Chapter 3, Problem 30P , additional homework tip  1

Concept introduction: Tertiary C – H bonds reactive more readily than secondary those, in turn, are faster to react than primary. This can be attributed to stability of radical formed upon C – H bond cleavage via hyperconjugation.

The phenomenon of hyperconjugation refers to donation of σ electrons into the partly vacant p orbital lobes of radical carbon. More will be number of σ orbital capable of donation of electrons more is the stabilization.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:Whether products with reasonable selectivity are obtained should be identified.
