Textbook Question
Chapter 8.7, Problem DQ
The strength of the H─O bond in vitamin E is weaker than the C─H from which the hydrogen is abstracted in the fatty acid primarily because,
- 1. O─H bonds are always weaker than C─H bonds.
- 2. The radical created from hydrogen abstraction from O─H is stabilized by resonance delocalization and many of the contributing structures have secondary carbon radical character.
- 3. The sp2 hybridization of the phenyl ring changes the hybridization of the oxygen in the O─H bond.
- 4. The radical created from hydrogen abstraction from O─H is stabilized by resonance delocalization and many of the contributing structures have tertiary carbon radical character.

- Order the following organic reactions by relative rate. That is, select '1' next to the reaction that will have the fastest initial rate, select '2' next to the reaction that will have the next fastest initial rate, and so on. If two reactions will have very similar initial rates, you can select the same number next to both. If a reaction will have zero or nearly zero initial rate, don't select a number and check the box in the table instead.
