Although chain branching in radical polymerizations can occur by intermolecular H abstraction as shown in Mechanism 28.2, chain branching can also occur by intramolecular H abstraction to form branched polyethylene that contains butyl groups as branches.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.
