Question: Draw the six products (including stereoisomers) formed when A is treated with NBS + hv.

Question: Draw the steps of the mechanism that converts vinyl chloride (CH2CHCl) into poly(vinyl chloride).
Question: The triphenylmethyl radical is an unusual persistent radical present in solution in equilibrium with its dimer. For 70 years the dimer was thought to be hexaphenylethane, but in 1970, NMR data showed it to be A.

a. Why is the triphenylmethyl radical more stable than most other radicals?
b. Use curved arrow notation to show how two triphenylmethyl radicals dimerize to form A.
c. Propose a reason for the formation of A rather than hexaphenylethane.d. How could 1 H and 13C NMR spectroscopy be used to distinguish between hexaphenylethane and A?
