Chapter 12.4, Problem 6P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For problem 4, the number of alkyl halides obtained from monochlorination of alkanes if stereoisomers are included has be given.

Concept introduction:

Distribution of products based on Probability and Reactivity:

Depending on the relative rate of alkyl radical formation, the type of chlorination product obtained differs.  At room temperature, it is 5.00 times easier for a chlorine radical to form a tertiary radical than a primary radical, and it is 3.8 times easier to form a secondary radical than a primary radical.  These, ratios differ at different temperatures.

Chiral: Four different atoms attached to a carbon atom is called chiral molecule.

Stereoisomers: Stereoisomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula and they differ only in arrangement of atom in three-dimensional space.

Enantiomers: A compound which is non-superimposable mirror image is called enantiomers.

Diastereomers: A compound which is non-superimposable and non-mirror image is called enantiomers

Racemic mixture: A racemic mixture is simply a mixture containing an equal amount of each enantiomer

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
The reaction of 3-methylene-1-cyclohexene and HBr yields the four products shown in the attachment. Which two are formed at high temperatures and which two are formed at low temperatures? Why? Why is 1-bromo-3-methylenecyclohexane not formed?
How many monochloro substitution products are produced when the alkanes below are chlorinated? Consider constitutional isomers only, ignore stereoisomers. a) b) The number of monochloro substitution products is 4 The number of monochloro substitution products is 3 X.
1. Consider the following reaction - Dehydrogenation of Methyl Cyclohexane (MCH) to Toluene (TOL) using a Precious Metal (Pt) supported on Alumina. CH3 CH3 2 () + 3 H₂ Typically, hydrogenation of a cyclo-alkane, like MCH, occurs in 3 or more stages, where one bond is dehydrogenated per stage, eventually resulting in the dehydrogenation of 3 bonds. Strong adsorption of MCH is likely to occur, but the adsorption of hydrogen (either as a molecule on a single site OR as an atom on a single site) is unclear. Therefore, in this question, two types of reaction mechanisms are to be considered, as discussed below: (a) You are to first propose a reaction mechanism which includes adsorption, surface reaction, and desorption. For each of the following cases, please write down a full set of elementary reaction mechanisms. (0) Extraction of Hydrogen in 3 stages, based on dehydrogenation of each bond-where the ensuing hydrogen product is adsorbed as a molecule on a single site, in one step.…
