Concept explainers
(a)
To determine: The mechanism for the given reaction between an
Interpretation: The mechanism for the given reaction between an alkene and bromine molecule in the presence of light is to be stated.
Concept introduction: A molecule that does not possess a charge and contains an unpaired electron is termed as free radical. Free radicals are highly reactive material, but they have a short life span.
The reaction that includes the addition of one or more bromine atoms in a compound is known as bromination reaction. Bromination reaction is a type of halogenation reaction.

- Tunicates are marine animals that are called "sea squirts" because when they are taken out of water, they tend to contract and expel seawater. Lepadiformine is a cytotoxic agent (toxic to cells) isolated from a marine tunicate. During a recent synthesis of lepadiformine, the investigators observed the formation of an interesting by-product (3) while treating diol 1 with a reagent similar in function to PBr3 (J. Org.

Explain why homolysis of the O–H bond in phenol requiresconsiderably less energy than homolysis of the O–H bond in ethanol(362 kJ/mol vs. 438 kJ/mol).b.) Why is the C–O bond in phenol shorter than the C–O bond in ethanol?arrow_forward
