Chapter 28.5, Problem 13P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: A mechanism that accounts for the formation of A and B is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: The radical polymerization of alkenes often utilizes a RO· radical as initiator. This initiator is obtained by the homolysis cleavage of weak peroxy bond (OO) in ROOR.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
The polymerization of CH2 = CHCH = CH2 under radical conditions affords products A and B. Draw a mechanism that accounts for their formation.
Treatment of alkenes A and B with HBr gives the same alkyl halide C. Draw a mechanism for each reaction, including all reasonable resonance structures for any intermediate.
