chlorocyclohexane. Label the initiation and propagation steps.

36. In the presence of a small amount of bromine, the following light-promoted reaction has
been observed

(a) Write a mechanism for this reaction. Your mechanism should explain how both products are
formed. (Hint: Notice which H atom has been lost in both products.)

(b) Explain why only this one type of hydrogen atom has been replaced, in preference to any of
the other hydrogen atoms in the starting material.

37. For each compound, predict the major product of free-radical bromination. Remember that
bromination is highly selective, and only the most stable radical will be formed.

39. The chlorination of pentane gives a mixture of three monochlorinated products.

(a) Draw their structures.

(b) Predict the ratios in which these monochlorination products will be formed, remembering
that a chlorine atom abstracts a secondary hydrogen about 4.5 times as fast as it abstracts a
primary hydrogen.

40. Peroxides are often added to free-radical reactions as initiators because the oxygen–oxygen
bond cleaves homolytically rather easily. For example, the bond-dissociation enthalpy of
the O-O bond in hydrogen peroxide (HO - OH) is only 213 kJ mol (51 kcal mol). Give a
mechanism for the hydrogen peroxide-initiated reaction of cyclopentane with chlorine. The
Do for HO-Cl is 210 kJ mol (50 kcal/mol).
41. When a small amount of iodine is added to a mixture of chlorine and methane, it prevents
chlorination from occurring.Therefore, iodine is a free-radical inhibitor for this reaction.
Calculate Ho values for the possible reactions of iodine with species present in the
chlorination of methane, and use these values to explain why iodine inhibits the reaction.
(The I-Cl bond-dissociation enthalpy is 211 kJ mol or 50 kcal mol.)
42. Tributyltin hydride (Bu3SnH) is used synthetically to reduce alkyl halides, replacing a

following reaction as the example.

(Hint: A trace of Br2 and light suggests it’s there only as an initiator, to create Br Radicals.

Then decide which atom can be abstracted mosr favorably from the starting materials by the Br .
Radicals. That should complete the initiation. Now decide what energetically favored
propagation steps will accomplish the reaction.

43. Iodination of alkanes using iodine (I2) is usually an unfavorable reaction. (See Problem 4-

17, for example.) Tetraiodomethane (CI4) can be used as the iodine source for iodination,
in the presence of a free-radical initiator such as hydrogen peroxide. Propose a mechanism
(involving mildly exothermic propagation steps) for the following proposed reaction.
Calculate the value of Ho for each of the steps in your proposed mechanism.

(e) In ethanol that contains sodium ethoxide, tert-butyl bromide reacts mainly by this

mechanism.

(f) These reaction mechanisms represent concerted processes.

(g) Reactions proceeding by these mechanisms are stereospecific.

(h) These reaction mechanisms involve carbocation intermediates.

(i) These reaction mechanisms are the ones most likely to have been involved when the

products are found to have a different carbon skeleton from the substrate.

( j) Alkyl iodides react faster than alkyl bromides in reactions that proceed by these mechanisms.

8.33 Outline an efficient synthesis of each of the following compounds from the indicated starting

material and any necessary organic or inorganic reagents:

(a) Cyclopentyl cyanide from cyclopentane

(b) Cyclopentyl cyanide from cyclopentene

(c) Cyclopentyl cyanide from cyclopentanol

(h) Isopropyl azide from 1-propanol

(i) (S)-sec-Butyl azide from (R)-sec-butyl alcohol

(j) (S)-CH3CH2CHSHCH3 from (R)-sec-butyl alcohol

8.40 The reaction of 2,2-dimethyl-1-propanol with HBr is very slow and gives 2-bromo-

2-methylbutane as the major product.

Give a mechanistic explanation for these observations.

8.41 Solvolysis of 2-bromo-2-methylbutane in acetic acid containing potassium acetate gave three

products. Identify them.

8.42 Solvolysis of 1,2-dimethylpropyl p-toluenesulfonate in acetic acid (75_C) yields five


different

products: three are alkenes and two are substitution products. Suggest reasonable structures for
these

five products.

8.43 Solution A was prepared by dissolving potassium acetate in methanol. Solution B was

prepared by adding potassium methoxide to acetic acid. Reaction of methyl iodide either

with solution A or with solution B gave the same major product. Why? What was this

8.44 If the temperature is not kept below 25_C during the reaction of primary alcohols with

p-toluenesulfonyl chloride in pyridine, it is sometimes observed that the isolated product is not
the

desired alkyl p-toluenesulfonate but is instead the corresponding alkyl chloride. Suggest a

mechanistic explanation for this observation.

8.45 In a classic experiment, Edward Hughes (a colleague of Ingold’s at University College,

London) studied the rate of racemization of 2-iodooctane by sodium iodide in acetone and
compared

it with the rate of incorporation of radioactive iodine into 2-iodooctane.

How will the rate of racemization compare with the rate of incorporation of radioactivity if

(a) Each act of exchange proceeds stereospecifically with retention of configuration?

(b) Each act of exchange proceeds stereospecifically with inversion of configuration?

(c) Each act of exchange proceeds in a stereorandom manner, in which retention and

inversion of configuration are equally likely?

8.46 Based on what we know about nucleophiles and leaving groups, we suspect that the reaction

of (R)-2-chlorobutane with sodium iodide in acetone would not be useful as a synthesis of (S)-2-

8.47 The reaction of cyclopentyl bromide with sodium cyanide to give cyclopentyl cyanide

proceeds faster if a small amount of sodium iodide is added to the reaction mixture. Can you
suggest

a reasonable mechanism to explain the catalytic function of sodium iodide?

mechanism at the fastest rate?
