Chapter 15: Q58. (page 570)

Question: Devise a synthesis of 1-methylcyclohexene oxide from methylcyclohexane. You may use any other required organic or inorganic reagents.

Short Answer

Expert verified

In a radical reaction, one or two atoms are substituted by radicals (atoms with incomplete valence electrons) following a continuous step of the mechanism.

Step by step solution

01

Radical reactions

In a radical reaction, one or two atoms are substituted by radicals (atoms with incomplete valence electrons) following a continuous step of the mechanism.

02

Halogenations of alkanes

In halogenation of alkanes, a weaker C-H bond is broken, and a C-X bond is formed (X - Cl, Br, I).

03

 Step 3: Synthesis reaction

  1. Halogenation of methylcyclohexane forms a C-Br bond.

2. The base eliminates HBr, and alkene is formed.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Question: When two monomers (X and Y) are polymerized together, a copolymer results. An alternating copolymer is formed when the two monomers X and Y alternate regularly in the polymer chain. Draw the structure of the alternating copolymer formed when the two monomers, CH2CCl2 and CH2,=CHC6H5 are polymerized together.

Question: As we will learn in Chapter 30, styrene derivatives such as A can be polymerized by way of cationic rather than radical intermediates. Cationic polymerization is an example of electrophilic addition to an alkene involving carbocations.

a. Draw a short segment of the polymer formed by the polymerization of A.

b. Why does A react faster than styrene (C6H5CH=CH2)in a cationic polymerization?

Question: Five isomeric alkanes (A–E) having the molecular formula C6H14 are each treated with Cl2 + hv to give alkyl halides having molecular formula C6H13Cl . A yields five constitutional isomers. B yields four constitutional isomers. C yields two constitutional isomers. D yields three constitutional isomers, two of which possess stereo-genic centres. E yields three constitutional isomers, only one of which possesses a stereo-genic centre. Identify the structures of A–E.

Questions: Why is a benzylic C-H bond unusually weak?

Question: Rank the following radicals in order of increasing stability.
