Draw the curved arrow (fishhook) notation for the reaction of a bromine molecule

Question

Draw the curved arrow (fishhook) notation for the reaction of a bromine molecule with methane in the presence of UV light. Label each step as initiation, propagation, or termination. Radical reactions produce a ___. racemic product product with inversion of configuration product with retention of configuration Markovnikov product The IUPAC name of compound 1,1,1-Triethylmethanol 1,1-Diethyl-1-propanol 2-Ethyl-3-pentanol 3-Ethyl-3-pentanol tert-Heptanol What is the relationship between alcohols I and II?

Explanation / Answer

Ans 4 has been already solved by me few moments back , so let me help you out with the next question .

Ans 5. a) Racemic product

Radical reactions such as halogenation ( bromination , chlorination ) of alkanes ( methane , ethane ) , involves 3 basic steps namely , initiation , propagation and termination .

The radical intermediates produced in step 2 produce a sp2 hybridisation orbital with lone electron in vacant 2p orbital , so that the attack of radical electron can take place from the either side of C-H bond . This lead to the production of racemic mixture .
