Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: Major organic product of monobromination of pentane at
Concept introduction: The monobromination performed with ultraviolet light proceeds via radical chain mechanism.
Tertiary
The phenomenon of hyperconjugation refers to donation of
(b)
Interpretation: All Newman projections of major brominated products in staggered conformations should be drawn.
Concept introduction: Various interconvertible forms that result from rotation around the
Thus in Newman's projection of simple ethane molecule the “front”
(c)
Interpretation: Qualitative plot of potential energy against torsional angle for
Concept introduction: As rotation is carried out along
The potential energy shows peaks and falls. This corresponds to transition from staggered and eclipsed conformation molecule adopts with each
Staggered conformation that has substituents on both carbons farthest apart is regarded most stable due to least torsional strain, whereas the eclipsed has large amount of torsional strain due to steric repulsions. Therefore in potential-energy diagram, peak corresponds to eclipsed while the valley corresponds to stable staggered conformation.
