Question: Which C-H bond in each compound most readily broken during radical halogenation?
a.
b.
c.
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?
Question:A and B, isomers of molecular formula C3H5Cl3 , are formed by the radical chlorination of a dihalide C of molecular formula C3H6Cl2 .
(a) Identify the structures of A and B from the following NMR data:
Compound A: singlet at 2.23 and singlet at 4.04 ppmCompound B: doublet at 1.69, multiplet at 4.34, and a doublet at 5.85 ppm
(b) What is the structure of C?
Question:Draw the products formed in each reaction and include the stereochemistry around any stereogenic centers.
a.

b.

c.

d.

Question: In cells, vitamin C exists largely as its conjugate base X. X is an antioxidant because radicals formed in oxidation processes abstract the labeled H atom, forming a new radical that haltsoxidation. Draw the structure of the radical formed by H abstraction, and explain why this Hatom is most easily removed.
