In radical chlorination of alkanes, non-equivalent hydrogens react with chlorine atoms at different rates. At 35 °C, primary, secondary, and tertiary C-H bonds react at relative rates of 1 : 3.9 : 5.2 respectively. These are conditions of kinetic control where product ratios are determined by relative rates of formation. For example, if A is formed twice as fast as B, the A:B product ratio will be 2. Consider chlorination of the alkane below at 35 °C. 1. Specify the most reactive C-H bond(s), a-c | Two non-equivalent C-H bonds of comparable reactivity should be separated by commas, i.e. a,c. 2.

PLEASE HELP DRAW THE FREE RADICAL SUBSTITUTION OF CYCLOHEXANE WHICH INOLVES THE 3 STEPS WHICH ARE initiation , propagation and termination
Show the mechanism for the initiation and propagation steps using the molecules below. draw the FULL electron pushing mechanism with ALL intermediates, lone pairs, and formal charges clearly labelled. Show ALL electron pushing arrows and label the nucleophile and electrophile where appropriate for non-radical mechanisms.
Provide the missing reagent, intermediate, transition state or major product for these reactions
Metathesis reactions can be carried out with two different alkene substrates in one reaction mixture. Depending on the substitution pattern around the C=C, the reaction may lead to one major product or a mixture of many products. For each pair of alkene substrates, draw all metathesis products formed. (Disregard any starting materials that may also be present at equilibrium.) With reference to the three examples, discuss when alkene metathesis with two different alkenes is a synthetically useful reaction.

The rate law for addition of Br2 to an alkene is first orderin Br2 and first order in the alkene. Does this informationsuggest that the mechanism of addition of Br2 to analkene proceeds in the same manner as for addition of HBr?Explain.
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: ---------.
Similar to alkanes, hydrogen gas can undergo radical bromination according to the reactionbelow. Propose a chain-reaction mechanism for this reaction, including an initiation step, propagation steps, and two plausible termination steps.
