- As we will learn in Section 15.12, many antioxidants-compounds that prevent unwanted radical oxidation reactions from occurring-are phenols, compounds that contain an OH group bonded directly to a benzene ring. a. Explain why homolysis of the O-H bond in phenol requires considerably less energy than homolysis of the O-H bond in ethanol (362 kJ/mol vs. 438 kJ/mol). b. Why is the C-O bond in phenol shorter than the C-O bond in ethanol? -O-H CH,CH2-0-H phenol ethanolarrow_forwardAddition of HCl to alkene X forms two alkyl halides Y and Z.a.Label Y and Z as a 1,2-addition product or a 1,4-addition product. b. Label Y and Z as the kinetic or thermodynamic product and explain why. c.Explain why addition of HCl occurs at the indicated C=C (called an exocyclic double bond), rather than the other C=C (called an endocyclic double bond).arrow_forwardKindly answer this question...thanks in advancearrow_forward
