Chapter 12.3, Problem 5P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The reason as to why heats of hydrogenation cannot be used to determine the relative stability of 2-methylpent-2-ene and 3-methylpent-1-ene is to be stated.

Concept introduction: Hydrogenation reaction is exothermic in nature due to the fact that the bonds are stronger in product than in reactant. Heat of hydrogenation can be used as measure for relative stability of alkenes when they are reduced to same alkane. Higher the stability of alkene, lower is the heat of hydrogenation.

A benzene ring alters the reactivity of a neighboring group in the so-called “benzylic” position, similarly to how a double bond alters the reactivity of groups in the “allylic” position. Benzylic cations, anions, and radicals are all more stable than simple alkyl intermediates. a) Use resonance structures to show the delocalization of the positive charge, negative charge, and unpaired electron of the benzyl cation, anion, and radical.
The theoretical yield of 1-methylcyclohexene in moles(from 2-methylcyclohexanol amount of 2.239 gram).  The theoretical yield of 1-methylcyclohexene in moles is 0.01961. 1. What is the corrected actual yield(% Relative Area for 1-methylcyclohexene is 82.81%)? The theoretical yield of 1-methylcyclohexene in moles is 0.01961. 2. . What is the calculation of the %yield of 1-methylcyclohexene?
Free-radical chlorination of hexane gives very poor yields of 1-chlorohexane, while cyclohexane can be converted to chlorocyclohexane in good yield. How do you account for this difference?
