In what stage of the reaction is the most of the monobrominated product formed in the radical bromination reaction of an alkene?

a) The bromine radical is reacting with the alkyl radical.

b) The bromine radical is reacting with an alkene.

c) Bromine is reacting with alkyl radical.

d) Bromine is reacting with an alkene.

Answer #1

Ans (c) is the correct answer because bromine radical is so reactive and unstable. So it wants to combine with another available radical molecule to attain stabily.

You will use a simple distillation to isolate the product mixture in the dehydration reaction. Then you will separate the water from the alkene products by extraction using ether as your extraction solvent, dry the ether, and evaporate the ether to prepare your alkene mixture for analysis. Would it be useful at this point to do a second simple distillation to try to isolate each of the alkene products before analysis so that you can analyze each product separately rather...

When 2-methylbutane is treated with bromine and heat, several products can be isolated. When the major product is treated with sodium methoxide, two alkenes can be isolated, one more than the other. When sodium t-butoxide is used instead of sodium methoxide, the same two alkenes are formed, but in different proportions. Show the alkene products that form, and indicate the major and minor alkene for each reaction. What rules are illustrated here?

1. The free radical chlorination reaction of 2,3-dimethylbutane leads to the production of two major monochlorinated products 1-choloro-2,3-dimethylbutane and 2-chloro-2,3-dimethylbutane. When run through a gas chromatograph,it was determined that the product distrubution was 51.7% 1-chloro-2,3-dimethylbutane and 48.3% 2-chloro-2,3-dimethylbutane. If we assign the primary H's a reactivity of 1.0, what is the relative reactivity of the tertiary H's. 2. A free radical bromination of 2,3, dimethybutane( same as above) will give almost exclusively the 2-bromo-2,3-dimethylbutane. Use the Hammond Postulate to explain...
