QUESTION 25 In this class we will limit our study of free radical halogenation to free radical chlorination and free radical bromination. Bromine is a larger, "slower and fussier" atom than chlorine, and its radicals relatively "take their time reacting", so bromine tends to end up on its preference of carbons. It prefers more substituted carbons: 3° is preferred over 20 is prefered over 10.

QUESTION 25
In this class we will limit our study of free radical halogenation to free radical chlorination and free radical bromination. Bromine is a larger, "slower
and fussier" atom than chlorine, and its radicals relatively "take their time reacting", so bromine tends to end up on its preference of carbons. It
prefers more substituted carbons: 30 is preferred over 2° is prefered over 10. Given that, which product will be produced in highest yield when
bromine undergoes free radical halogenation with 2-methylhexane?
1-bromo-2-methylhexane
3-bromo-2-methylhexane
5-bromo-6-methylhexane
4-bromo-2-methylhexane
2-bromo-2-methylhexane
O O O
