Chapter 9.3, Problem 12E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Reason behind more stability of 1 benzylic radical than 1 aliphatic radical needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Aromatic compound can be described as a cyclic compound having at least one benzene ring and characterized by the occurrence of alternating double bonds inside the ring.

Aliphatic compound can be described as an organic compound in which carbon and hydrogen atoms are present which are linked together in straight or branched chains.

Free radicals are an uncharged molecule having an unpaired valency electron. These are typically highly reactive and short-lived molecule

Exp3: Diels-Alder reaction   Why does cyclopentadiene regularly form a dimer? How to break the dimer into monomers? Does the diene in this reaction act as the nucleophile or the electrophile? Is the maleic anhydride a nucleophile or an electrophile in this reaction? Explain your reasoning.
When a-tocopherol reacts with radicals (such as peroxyl radicals ROO, oxygen radicals, HO), it forms the radical (tocopheroxyl radical) shown below. This radical can eventually be converted back to a- tocopherol with the help of Vitamin C) CH3 CH3 CH3 CH3 CH3 CH3 CH3 CH3 Draw all resonance contributors of tocopheroxyl radical using the partial drawing shown on the next page. You may NOT need all of the structures.
The compound below is treated with chlorine in the presence of light. H3C CH3 H3C° `CH2CH3 Draw the structure for the organic radical species produced by reaction of the compound with a chlorine atom. Assume reaction occurs at the weakest C-H bond. • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. • You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms.
