Question
Chapter 12.7, Problem 13P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Propagation step should be written for the addition of hydrogen bromide to the 1-methy cyclohexene in the presence of a peroxide.
Concept introduction:
Radical or free radical: unpaired valence electron of an atom, molecule, or ion is called as radical.
Radical chain reaction takes place in three steps namely,
Initiation step –heat or light supplied, breaks the bond and creates radicals from a halogen molecule
Propagation step –radical from initiation step reacts with
Termination step –the combination of any two radicals resulting in all the electrons to be paired and thus the reaction gets terminated.

Peroxides are often added to free-radical reactions as initiators because the oxygen–oxygen bond cleaves homolytically rather easily. For example, the bond-dissociation enthalpy of the O¬O bond in hydrogen peroxide (H¬O¬O¬H) is only 213 kJ>mol (51 kcal>mol). Give a mechanism for the hydrogen peroxide-initiated reaction of cyclopentane with chlorine. The BDE for HO¬Cl is 210 kJ>mol (50 kcal>mol).
Two substitution products result from the
reaction between 3-chloro-3-methyl-1-
butene with sodium acetate (CH3COO – Na +)
in acetic acid under SN1.
Identify the products.
Please give the main substitution product for each of the following reactions, and indicate the dominant mechanism:
(a) 1-bromopropane + NaOCH3 →
(b) 3-bromo-3-methylpentane + NaOC2H5 →
