Question
Chapter 10, Problem 36P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The radical mechanism for the given process is to be written.
Concept introduction:
Electrophiles are electron-deficient species, which has positive or partially positive charge. Lewis acids are electrophiles, which accept electron pair.
Nucleophiles are electron-rich species, which has negative or partially negative charge. Lewis bases are nucleophiles, which donate electron pair.
Radical is an atom or molecule that has an unpaired valence electron. These unpaired electrons make radical highly chemically reactive.
Substitution reaction: A reaction in which one of the hydrogen atoms of a hydrocarbon or a
Elimination reaction: A reaction in which two substituent groups are detached and a double bond is formed is called elimination reaction.
Addition reaction: It is the reaction in which unsaturated bonds are converted to saturated molecules by the addition of molecules.
Reduction is a process in which hydrogen atoms are added to a compound.
Homolytic fission is that fission in which each atom in the bond has an electron which results in species called free radical.
In heterolytic fission, when covalent bond is broken, the shared pair of electron is taken by one of the atoms.

Peroxides are often added to free-radical reactions as initiators because the oxygen–oxygen bond cleaves homolytically rather easily. For example, the bond-dissociation enthalpy of the O¬O bond in hydrogen peroxide (H¬O¬O¬H) is only 213 kJ>mol (51 kcal>mol). Give a mechanism for the hydrogen peroxide-initiated reaction of cyclopentane with chlorine. The BDE for HO¬Cl is 210 kJ>mol (50 kcal>mol).
Does perchlorate (ClO4-) have an extremely low nucleophilicity because it participates in a lot of resonance structures?
The chlorination of ethane produces many by-products. One by-product that forms in small amounts is 2-chlorobutane.
Suggest a mechanism for the formation of 2-chlorobutane from the radical chlorination of ethane.
(NOTES: intermediates can only have one radical, 2-chlorobutane should be the product of your termination step, any
intermediate radical formed during the propagation phase can be used in the termination step)

- Br Brz CH3 CH3 H3C CH2CI2 H3C Br Electrophilic addition of bromine, Br2; to alkenes yields a 1,2-dibromoalkane. The reaction proceeds through a cyclic intermediate known as a bromonium ion.

Due to steric clashes, the bromide ion always attacks the carbon from the opposite face of the bromonium ion so that a product with anti stereochemistry is formed.
