Alkyl halides can be reduced to alkanes by a radical reaction with tributyltinhydride, in the presence of light (hv). Propose aradical chain mechanism by which the reaction might occur. The initiationstep is the light-induced homolytic cleavage of the Sn-H bondto yield a tributyltin radical.
Draw structures corresponding to the following IUPAC names: (c) 3-Bromo-3-ethylpentane.
Sort the radicals below from most stable to least stable.



Carboxylic acids (RCOOH; =5) are approximately 1011 times more
acidic than alcohols (ROH;=16). In other words, a carboxylate ion
is more stable than an alkoxide ion . Explain, using
resonance.
