Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The products and ratios obtained after monochlorination of 3-methylpentane at 25 °C should be written.

Concept introduction: The chlorination performed with ultraviolet light proceeds via radical chain mechanism.

Tertiary C – H bonds react in halogenations more readily than secondary those in turn are faster to react than primary. This can be attributed to stability of radical formed upon C – H bond cleavage via hyperconjugation.

The phenomenon of hyperconjugation refers to donation of σ electrons into the partly vacant p orbital lobes of radical carbon. More will be number of σ orbital capable of donation of electrons more is the stabilization.

Could you please explain and show how to calculate the theoretical yield of 1-bromobutane from this procedure?
Provide a full, arrow-pushing mechanism for the reaction of 1-methylcyclohexene with Br2 in water.
Conversion of an alkene to a halohydrin and internal displacement of a halide ion by an alkoxide ion are both stereoselective. Use this information to demonstrate that the configuration of the alkene is preserved in the epoxide. As an illustration, show that reaction of cis-2-butene by this two-step sequence gives cis-2,3- dimethyloxirane (cis-2-butene oxide).
