Question

Fellas, can somebody be kind and share a question and solution regarding substitution and elimination/RADICAL REACTION? I study hard and just wanna see that i am capable of solving it. Thanks!

Answer 1

@abb0t please don't let me down!

Answer 2

What's the question?

Answer 3

I am asking if you have an example for a question regarding radical reacion/substitution and elimination.... It's very theoretical but I have no idea if I fully understand this.

Do you have one by any chance?

Answer 4

I can think of one.

Answer 5

Thank you! You areunambiguously the organic chemistry master!!!!

Answer 6

Hmm...well, ok. Hold on. Let me start off with a fairly easy one

Answer 7

Do you want to try it yourself first or just want an explanation?

Answer 8

Show the detailed mechanism.

Answer 9

by the way, \(\Delta\) means i added heat.

Answer 10

wow did you just make it?

Answer 11

hmmm... let's see, so we start with initiation, meaning we have homolytic breaking of bonds eh?

Answer 12

yes. There are 3 major parts: \(\sf \color{red}{initiation},~\color{blue}{propagation}, ~and~\sf \color{green}{termination}\)

Answer 13

later we have propagation and we get methylbromine cyclohexane?

Answer 14

I think I got confused a little bit, can you help me out?

Answer 15

that's the Initiation step am I right?

Answer 16

breaking of the homolytic bond. make sure that you use half-arrow notation. it's important. and yes, this is initiation step.

Answer 17

Really? is it that important?

Answer 18

YES. It's very important that you know your curved arrow notation.
