Chapter 4, Problem 54P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The mechanism for monochlorination with the help of iodobenzene dichloride should be proposed.

Concept introduction: The monochlorination performed with ultraviolet light proceeds via radical chain mechanism. Chlorine transforms CH4 into chloromethane as the major halogenated product with variety of side products due to various possibility of chain termination.

The mechanism for monochlorination comprises of three stages illustrated as follows:

Step1- Initiation via homolytic cleavage of ClCl bond: Cl2 initiates the reaction; undergoes homolysis to yield chlorine radicals. Energy for homolytic cleavage is provided by the heat or ultraviolet light.

Step2-: Propagation: In first of the propagation steps, Cl· radical generated from step 1 abstracts hydrogen radical from methane as follows:

In subsequent propagation step chloromethyl radical abstracts Cl· radical from another Cl2 , and liberates dichloromethane and new Cl· radical.

Step3: Termination: Radicals generated in propagation steps get quenched upon combination with one another. Thus termination steps are essentially the radical− radical combination illustrated as follows:

[In this question, there are multiple answers to type in a "fill-in-the-blank" fashion - in each case, type in a whole number.] Consider using Slater's Rules to calculate the shielding factor (S) for the last electron in silicon (Si). There will be electrons with a 0.35 S-multiplier, electrons with a 0.85 S-multiplier, and electrons with a 1.00 S-multiplier.
