Chapter 4, Problem 4.47SP
For each compound, predict the major product of free-radical bromination. Remember that bromination is highly selective, and only the most stable radical will be formed.
- a. cyclohexane
- b. methylcyclopentane
- c. decalin
- d. hexane

A reaction flask contains 2-bromopentane in an ethanolic solution of sodium ethoxide at room temperature and result in the formation of two olefnic products. What is responsible for the formation of major and minor products. A. Different activated complex involved in the mechanism. B. Bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction. C. Bimolecular elimination reaction D. The presence of sodium ethoxide. E. The hybridization nature of secondary carbocation
Explosions occur when the rate of reaction increases dramatically over a short period of time. There are several types of explosions such as autocatalytic explosions, thermal explosions and branched chain explosions.
a. Briefly discuss how the thermal explosion and branched chain explosion occur.
6. Select the incorrect statement conceming the reaction you conducted during the
isomerization experiment. Choose one.
H,CO.
Brz, light
H,CO.
rOCH
rOCH
methylene chioride
dimethyl maleate
dimethyl fumarate
A. The major intermediate formed during the reaction contains both a bromine atom
and a radical.
B. Bromine is added catalytically instead of stoichiometrically because the bromine
radical is regenerated when the product is formed.
C. After twenty minutes, the reaction mixture contained both reactant and product.
D. Both reactant and product are soluble in methylene chloride.
E. If the reaction mixture turned colorless, that was an indication that the bromine
radicals were consumed.
F. When cold hexanes was added, only dimethyl fumarate precipitated out of
solution because dimethyl maleate is soluble in cold hexanes.
