A stepwise mechanism for the free-radical chlorination of
Concept introduction:
>The breaking of a covalent bond between two atoms in a way that each atom retains one of the electrons from the bond is called homolytic cleavage.
>The breaking of a covalent bond between two atoms in a way that one of the atoms retains both the electrons from the bond is called heterolytic cleavage.
>The movement of a single electron is shown by a Fishhook arrow and is called as single electron.
>Initiation describes the initial step of formation of radicals.
>Propagation is the chain of radical reactions. Once the radical formed in the initiation step, it reacts with suitable molecules.

- Benzene is often produced as a side product during Grignard reactions using phenylmagnesium bromide. How can its formation be explained? Give a balanced equation for its formation.arrow_forward5) Compound A reacted with Mg in ether to give B. Compound B is with Ethyl bromide to give Ethyl cyclohexane. What are the structures of A and B?arrow_forward1) The carbon-oxygen double bond present in aldehydes and ketones is very polar. What does this mean and how does it arise? 2) The carbon-oxygen double bond is readily attacked by nucleophiles like cyanide ions or ammonia. (i) What do you understand by the term nucleophile? (ii) Which part of the carbon-oxygen double bond is attractive to nucleophiles? 3) Why is there a difference between aldehydes and ketones in their response to oxidizing agents such as potassium dichromate(VI) solution acidified with dilute sulfuric acid?arrow_forward
- Cyclopropyl chloride has been prepared by chlorination of the free radical ofcyclopropane. Write a stepwise mechanism for this reaction.arrow_forwardExplains the general concept of the manufacture of benzene by dealkylation of toluene with hydrogen.arrow_forwardCompound L undergoes dehydrohalogenation to form hydrogen bromide and 1-methylcyclohexene. What is dehydrohalogenation? State the condition required for dehydrohalogenation. Draw the structural formula of compound L and name L.arrow_forward
- What is the major organic product obtained from the reaction of toluene with fuming sulfuric acid?arrow_forwardWhat is the major monosubstitution product from the Friedel—Crafts reaction of benzene with 1 -chloro-2-methylpropane in the presence of AlCl3?arrow_forwardOrganic Chemistry Acid catalyzed dehydration reaction of 2-methyl-1-butanol produces 2-methyl-2-butene as the major product. Also acid catalyzed dehydration reaction of 3-methyl-1-butanol give the same product as major product. Explain the reason why both of the reaction produce the same product as the major product.arrow_forward
