a) Free radical bromination is more selective than free radical chlorination. Draw a reaction coordinate diagram for the specific step in the radical chain mechanism that illustrates the source of this selectivity, and explain your reasoning. b) Explain why the bond dissociate energy (BDE) of tert-butane is 95 kcal/mol while the BDE for propane is 99 kcal/mol.

Ff.269. Draw the energy diagram beginning with 2-butanol that displays the conversion of 2-butanol into the three products produced in the dehydration of 2-butanol.
A benzene ring alters the reactivity of a neighboring group in the so-called “benzylic” position, similarly to how a double bond alters the reactivity of groups in the “allylic” position. Benzylic cations, anions, and radicals are all more stable than simple alkyl intermediates. a) Use resonance structures to show the delocalization of the positive charge, negative charge, and unpaired electron of the benzyl cation, anion, and radical.
