Chapter 8, Problem 4ALQ
The bond energy for a C—H bond is about 413 kJ/mol in CH4 but 380 kJ/mol in CHBr3. Although these values are relatively close in magnitude, they are different. Explain why they are different. Does the fact that the bond energy is lower in CHBr3, make any sense? Why?

2) There are many forms of cancer, all of which involve abnormal cell growth. The growth and
production of cells, called cell proliferation, is known to involve an enzyme called protein
farnesyltransferase (PFTase). It is thought that inhibitors pf PFTase may be useful as anticancer
drugs. The following molecule showed moderate activity as a potential PFTase inhibitor. Draw all
stereoisomers of this compound.
