Question:

Consider the reaction of a methyl radical (·CH3) with the p bond of an alkene:R R T Hoa C=C + CH3 R R R R R R C-C-CH3

The relative rates of the reaction shown in Fig. P5.50 were determined for various alkenes.

(a) Draw the free-radical product of the reaction in each case and explain.

(b) Explain the order of the relative rates.alkene: relative rate: Figure P5.50 HC=CH 1.0 (CH3)2C=CH (CH3)2C CHCH3 1.4 0.077
