Compounds containing a phenol group may work as ANTIOXIDANTS to prevent free radical damage. This is accomplished when a free radical (or UV light) encounters a phenol group, turning the phenol group into a radical. However, contrary to typical radical behavior, the structure of the phenol radical can neutralize (or quench) the unpaired electron.

fluorination of alkanes is highly exothermic. Per Hammond’s postulate, assume that the transition state for radical fluorination is almost identical to the starting material. Assuming this fact, estimate the fraction of each monofluoro product formed in the fluorination of 2-methylbutane.
In alkane free-radical halogenation, the mechanistic (arrow pushing) step that transfers the radical to the alkane is called __________________ . A. propagation B. initiation C. termination D. sublimation
The following radical-initiated reaction with HBr produces a formal Anti-Markovnikov's rule product. Provide a curved arrow mechanism, making sure to use single headed arrows and drawing all intermediates. Only initiation and propagation steps are needed. Termination does not need to be included. Part of the initiation step is provide for use to generate an OH radical.
Explain the General Features of Radical Reactions ?
Alkyl halides can be reduced to alkanes by a radical reaction with tributyltin hydride, (C4H9)3SnH, in the presence of light (hv). Propose a radical chain mechanism by which the reaction might occur. The initiation step is the light-induced homolytic cleavage of the Sn-H bond to yield a tributyltin radical.
Free-radical chlorination of pentane can produce up to__________ different monochloropentanes. one two three four five
If the following molecules undergo free radical substitution, what is the order in which the hydrogen is easily replaced by bromine?
As we will learn, many antioxidants–compounds that prevent unwanted radical oxidation reactions from occurring–are phenols, compounds that contain an OH group bonded directly to a benzene ring.a.) Explain why homolysis of the O–H bond in phenol requiresconsiderably less energy than homolysis of the O–H bond in ethanol(362 kJ/mol vs. 438 kJ/mol).b.) Why is the C–O bond in phenol shorter than the C–O bond in ethanol?
Draw a reaction-energy diagram for the propagation steps of the free-radical addition of HBr to isobutylene. Draw curves representing the reactions leading to both the Markovnikov and the anti-Markovnikov products. Compare the values of ∆G° and Ea for the rate-limiting steps, and explain why only one of these products is observed.
