Chapter 8.7, Problem AQ, Linoleic acid is shown below. What makes this fatty acid particularly susceptible to autoxidation?

  1. 1. The red C—H bond has a low bond dissociation energy because it is doubly allylic.
  2. 2. The red C—H bond has a high bond dissociation energy because it is doubly allylic.
  3. 3. The red C—H bond is the most accessible to reaction with O2 because it is the least sterically crowded C—H bond.
  4. 4. Both 2 and 3.

The torsional energy in propane is 14 kJ/mol (3.4 kcal/mol). Because each H,H eclipsing interaction is worth 4.0 kJ/mol (1.0 kcal/mol) of destabilization, how much is one H,CH3 eclipsing interaction worth in destabilization?
