Draw the product(s) of the reaction below. If the reaction is selective, only draw the major product. Otherwise, draw all possible products.
For the synthesis of 2-halopropane, would it be better to perform chlorination or bromination of propane? Explain.
Show the major products of free-radical bromination for each of the compounds given below. Keeping in mind that the bromination is highly selective towards the stable radical formation.a. Methylcyclohexaneb. Cyclopentane
Use the bond-dissociation energies from the given table to determine whether the chlorination of propane would be selective or not.
Show the major products of free-radical bromination of the given compound below. Keeping in mind that bromination is highly selective towards the stable radical formation.
iso-Propyl benzene
The relative rate of formation of a tertiary, a secondary, and a primary alkyl radical by a chlorine radical is 5 : 3.8 : 1 at room temperature. However, the relative rates for the formation of these radicals decrease when we increase the reaction temperature. Explain this decrease in the degree of regioselectivity.
