Question
Chapter 1, Problem 73EQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The Lewis structure of radical formed when azobis (isobutyronitrile) breaks homolytically needs to be drawn
Concept Introduction:
Covalent bonds can suffer homolytic (symmetrical) bond breaking. During homolytic
cleavage, the electrons of a covalent bond become unpaired and one electron goes
with each fragment. Radicals, rather than ions, are formed. Radicals usually have a
formal charge of zero.

Chemistry
When (R)-2-butanol is left standing in aqueous acid, it slowly loses its optical activity. Account for this observation. Explain it in details.
Under milder temperatures than what is needed for dehydration, strong acids catalyze the self-condensation of 1-propyl alcohol to give di-n-propyl ether. The mechanism differs from that of today's reaction in that the protonated alcohol undergoes an Sn2 rather than an Sn1 reaction. Write the mechanism for the acid catalyzed condensation of ethyl alcohol to give diethyl ether. Make sure the mechanism includes protonation, Sn2, and deprotonation.
