Question
Chapter 10, Problem 1PP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The radicals, in order of theirs decreasing stability, are to be listed.
Concept introduction:
A molecule that contains at least one unpaired electron is known as a radical.
The relative stability of radicals is the same as that of carbocations.
The stability of radicals is as follows:
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1PP
Solution:
Explanation of Solution
The radical is a methyl radical. So, it is the least stable.
The radical is given as follows:
The carbon containing the unpaired electron is primary. Thus, the radical is a primary radical.
The radical is given as follows:
The carbon containing the unpaired electron is tertiary. Thus, the radical is a tertiary radical.
The radical is given as follows:
The carbon containing the unpaired electron is secondary. Thus, the radical is a secondary radical.
Therefore, the tertiary radical is the most stable and the methyl radical is the least stable.
Hence, the decreasing order of the stability of the radical is as follows:

For centuries, Chinese herbal medicine has used extracts of Ephedra sinica to treat asthma.
Ephedra as an"herbal supplement" has been implicated in the deaths of several athletes
and has recently been banned as a dietary supplement. Phytochemical investigation of
this plant resulted in isolation of ephedrine, a very potent dilator of the air passages of
the lungs. Ephedrine also has profound effects on the cardiovascular system. The natu-
rally occurring stereoisomer is levorotatory and has the following structure. Assign an
Ror S configuration to each chiral center.
