Chapter 31, Problem 31.61P

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 31, Problem 31.61P, 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.
