Chapter 9, Problem 14CTQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The more stable nature of cyclopropane in an acidic medium compare to the
Concept introduction: Cycloalkanes are cyclic saturated hydrocarbons. With the presence of a cyclic ring, they are less stable compared to open-chain hydrocarbons. The stability of cycloalkanes depends on the number of carbon atoms present in the cyclic ring.
Epoxide ring is also a three-member ring structure with two carbon atoms and one oxygen atom in the molecule.

Draw arrow-pushing mechanisms for the following reactions. Include all lone pairs and all formal charges.
Fill both dashes in the paragraph
Compounds containing a phenol group may work as ANTIOXIDANTS to prevent free radical damage. This is accomplished when a free radical (or UV light) encounters a phenol group, turning the phenol group into a radical. However, contrary to typical radical behavior, the structure of the phenol radical can neutralize (or quench) the unpaired electron. Specifically, the phenol structure neutralizes (or quenches) the unpaired radical electron by doing the following: taking the electron and ---------. The correct name (or abbreviation) of an example compound (discussed in the lecture videos) containing a phenol group with antioxidant properties is: ---------.
