Chapter 13, Problem 28P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The major product obtained on treating the compounds in problem 29 with Br2 at 125°C should be identified.

Concept introduction:

Radical or free radical: unpaired valence electron of an atom, molecule, or ion is called as radical.

Bond strength is depends on the formation of the radical, if the radical is involving in resonance which is weakest bond strength.

Bromination:

Organic Chemistry, Chapter 13, Problem 28P , additional homework tip  1

1-Methyl cyclohexane is undergoes radical bromination which forms 1-bromo-1-methyl cyclohexane therefore, bromination will occur where the tertiary radical is present. Because bromination will occur selectively in tertiary alkyl radical. (bromination reactions are more selective reaction)
