Interpretation:
The observation that radical chlorination of pentane is a poor way to prepare 1-chloropentane, but radical chlorination of neopentane, (CH3)4C, is a good way to prepare neopentyl chloride, (CH3)3CCH2Cl is to be explained.

- Why is this reaction considered "green" chemistry and how is it different from a "non-green" bromination? Based on this is this reaction completely "green" chemistryarrow_forwardWhich is more stable - a phenyl radical, [C6H5]•, or a benzyl radical, [C6H5CH2]• - and why?arrow_forwardShow stereo chemistry and possible outcomes and the steps for the reaction.arrow_forward
- Free radical halogenation is used to replace one or more hydrogens on an alkane with one or more halogens (either chlorine or bromine). It is a substitution reaction. A student performs a free radical bromination on 3-methyl-pentane (5.88 g) to create the desired product of 3-bromo-3-methyl-pentane. The product mix, which hopefully contains almost all 3-bromo-3-methyl-pentane, is cleaned up by passing it through a gas chromoatograph, which separates out the 3-bromo-3-methyl-pentane from any undesired products made during the reaction (undesired products are created frequently in free radical halogenation). The initial product mix weighed 9.45 g; the purified 3-bromo-3-methyl-pentane weighed 7.21 g. What is the student's percent recovery?arrow_forwardWhat is the most stable radical that could form from 2,2-dimethylbutane and the structure of the major monochlorination product of 2-methylpentane?arrow_forwardWhat are the final products for these reactions? *mechanisms not necessaryarrow_forward
- C6H5CO2CH2C6H5 can be synthesized by an SN2 reaction. Draw the structures of the alkyl chloride and nucleophile that will give this compound in highest yield. Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists. Include all valence lone pairs in your answer. Separate multiple reactants using the + sign from the drop-down menu. When a metal counterion is needed, use Na+, but draw it in its own sketcher.arrow_forwardFollowing is a balanced equation for the allylic bromination of propene. CH2==CHCH3 + Br2 h CH2==CHCH2Br + HBr (a) Calculate the heat of reaction, H 0, for this conversion. (b) Propose a pair of chain propagation steps and show that they add up to the observed stoichiometry. (c) Calculate the H 0 for each chain propagation step and show that they add up to the observed H 0 for the overall reaction.arrow_forwardRearrangements can occur during the dehydration of 1° alcohols even though no 1° carbocation is formed—that is, a 1,2-shift occurs as the C— OH2+ bond is broken, forming a more stable 2° or 3° carbocation, as shown in Equation [1]. Using this information, draw a stepwise mechanism for the reaction shown in Equation [2]. We will see another example of this type of rearrangement in Section 16.5C.arrow_forward
