Chapter 10, Problem 27P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The relative ease of radical halogenation at Ha is to be explained, and between Hb and Hc which one can more readily undergo radical halogenation is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

A type of halogenation in which alkanes and aromatic compounds, which are alkyl-substituted, react chemically in presence of light is known as free radical halogenation. It involves chain initiation, propagation, and termination steps in its whole mechanism. The free radical halogenation reaction is used in industries to synthesize dichloromethane and chloroform.

Compounds P and Q can undergo a Diels-Alder reaction to form two regioisomeric products R and S as shown in Figure 5. OMe P H C8H1202 R C8H1202 S Figure 5 Draw the chemical structures of regioisomeric compounds R and S. (ii) Using possible resonance contributors of P and Q predict which of the two regioisomers will be favoured in the reaction. (iii) Using curly arrows, draw the mechanism for the reaction of P and Q to form the dominant regioisomer you have predicted in your answer to part (ii) above.
Practical aspects of radical halogenation Radical halogenation of ethane is a major industrial sands of tons of chloro- and bromoethane are produced annually. proces, thou- However, radical fluorination and iodination are not practical. Using thermodynamic analysis (similar to one we did in class), explain why radical iodination and fluorination are not practical. Use values in Table 1 for your calculations.
