Consider the molecule given below. In theory, there are only two inequivalent hydrogens in this molecule that could be substituted by Br in a free radical bromination – circle them. Put an asterisk to mark the one most likely to be substituted first. However, there are 5 possible products from free radical bromination. Draw all the products and show using arrow formalism how the intermediate radicals leading to these products formed

In theory, there are only three inequivalent hydrogens in this molecule that could be substituted by Br in a free radical bromination – circle them. Put an asterisk to mark the one most likely to be substituted first.
The free-radical bromination of the following compound introduces bromine primarily at the benzylic position next to the aromatic ring. If the reaction stops at the monobromination stage, two stereoisomers result. Draw the two stereoisomers that result from monobromination at the benzylic position.
please draw detailed mechanism. mention which one is the nucleophile, electrophile,base/ acid. Also talk about stereochemistry/ regioselectivity. In terms of stereochemistry why are we getting trans alkene. Why is the trans alkene Produced is it due choosing PPh2 as regeant? Also This reaction is the Horner wadsworth emmond wittig.
Fill both dashes in the paragraph 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. Specifically, the phenol structure neutralizes (or quenches) the unpaired radical electron by doing the following: taking the electron and ---------. The correct name (or abbreviation) of an example compound (discussed in the lecture videos) containing a phenol group with antioxidant properties is: ---------.

Consider the following reaction being performed with a low concentration. Think about what type of substitution mechanism will be favored, SN2 or SN1, and what product will result.
a. First, identify the reactions taking place. Look at the reagents over the arrows. What is the first reaction used for? Does the second reaction use SN1 or SN2 conditions? b. Now look at the big molecule. Based on your answers to B, circle any portion of the molecule you suspect will react under these conditions. Is it a stereocenter? c. Based on your answers to B and C, what will be the stereochemical outcome of this reaction?
For each compound, predict the major product of free-radical bromination. Remember that bromination is highly selective, and only the most stable radical will be formed=methylcyclopentane
Curved arrows are used to illustrate the flow of electrons. Follow the curved arrows and draw the product of this elementary step in an SN1 mechanism. Include all lone pairs. Ignore stereochemistry. Ignore byproducts.
Supply the missing arrows to complete the reaction mechanisms below. For each of the reactions, BOX the electrophile and ENCIRCLE the nucleophile.
The electrophilic addition reaction shown below involves a carbocation rearrangement. For the mechanism step below, draw curved arrows to show electron reorganization. Use the arrow tool to specify the origin and the destination of the reorganizing electrons. Consult the arrow-pushing instructions for the convention on regiospecific electrophilic attack on a double bond. I understand how it's supposed to be laid out. I'm just unsure of where the first arrow comes from as there are a lot of positions. I have attached examples on what positions I mean. Thank you.
predict the product of each of the following reactions. Mono-halogenated products only for any radical halogenation reactions.
