Chapter 15: Q29. (page 570)

Question: Draw all resonance structures of the radical that results from abstraction of a hydrogen atom from the antioxidant BHA (butylated hydroxy anisole).

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

Step by step solution

01

Resonance structures

The resonance hybrid, which is the contributing structure of several structures, are indicated at the end while noting down the resonance structure of a particular compound.

02

Butylated hydroxyl anisole(BHA)

Butylated hydroxyl anisole comprises a combination of two isomeric alcohols. They are obtained from the compounds 4-methoxyphenol and isobutylene.

03

 Step 3: Resonance structures of the radical that results from the abstraction of hydrogen atom from the antioxidant BHA

Resonance structures are a way of describing the electron delocalization in a particular molecule. The resonance structures that result from the abstraction of the hydrogen atom from the antioxidant BHA can be given as:
