Question
Chapter 4.16B, Problem 4.30P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The given radicals are to be arranged in the decreasing order of their stability and each radical is to be classified as primary, secondary or tertiary.
Concept introduction: The stability of free radical depends upon the nature of carbon atom to which it is attached. Tertiary free radicals are more stable than secondary or primary free radicals.
To determine: The order of given radicals in decreasing order of their stability and classification of each as primary, secondary or tertiary.

His lab partner was surprised to get only one product from the reaction of 1,3 - cyclohexadiene with HBr. Explain these distinct results. (b) One student, seeing the discussion of colleagues, commented that she obtained two distinct products when reacting 1,3,5-hexatriene with HBr, with different yields just by changing the reaction temperature. Explain the results she obtained using reaction mechanism and based on kinetic and thermodynamic control involving conjugated dienes.arrow_forward
