Chapter 4, Problem 54P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The mechanism for monochlorination with the help of iodobenzene dichloride should be proposed.

Concept introduction: The monochlorination performed with ultraviolet light proceeds via radical chain mechanism. Chlorine transforms CH4 into chloromethane as the major halogenated product with variety of side products due to various possibility of chain termination.

The mechanism for monochlorination comprises of three stages illustrated as follows:

Step1- Initiation via homolytic cleavage of ClCl bond: Cl2 initiates the reaction; undergoes homolysis to yield chlorine radicals. Energy for homolytic cleavage is provided by the heat or ultraviolet light.

Step2-: Propagation: In first of the propagation steps, Cl· radical generated from step 1 abstracts hydrogen radical from methane as follows:

In subsequent propagation step chloromethyl radical abstracts Cl· radical from another Cl2 , and liberates dichloromethane and new Cl· radical.

Step3: Termination: Radicals generated in propagation steps get quenched upon combination with one another. Thus termination steps are essentially the radical− radical combination illustrated as follows:

New hydrocarbon compounds K, L, M and N have been formed from an organic reactions in Dr. Meredith laboratory. She found that compound K and L with molecular formula (C;H14) are unsaturated hydrocarbons with positional isomerism. Meanwhile, the reaction of hydrocarbon from compound M produces carbon dioxide and water when burns in plentiful oxygen. Another observation showed compound N produces three products X, Y and Z when react with chlorine gas in the presence of UV light. Identify the name of unsaturated hydrocarbon compound K and L and draw their possible condensed and skeletal structures. Suggest the IUPAC nomenclature name for compound M and write the complete chemical reaction of compound M when burns in plentiful oxygen. Show the complete mechanism reaction that occur for the formation of products X, Y and Z from compound N.
