EXTRA Problem 16.3: Reactivity

  1. When methylcyclobutane (below) is brominated in the presence of light, three different types of monobromination products can be formed (primary, secondary, and tertiary substitution). Draw the structures of all possible products. SOLUTION
  1. Calculate the expected % abundance of each product, assuming the relative Br2 reactivities of 1600:80:1 towards tertiary, secondary, and primary C-H bonds, respectively. SOLUTION
