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.
What monobrominated derivatives can be synthesized with high yields using free-radical bromination for each alkane?
(i) cyclohexane
(ii) methylcyclohexane
Determine the two major products (not including stereoisomers) when the following molecule undergoes free-radical bromination. [Note: Free-radical bromination is highly selective so only the most stable radical forms.]
