Question
Chapter 10, Problem 1PP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The radicals, in order of theirs decreasing stability, are to be listed.
Concept introduction:
A molecule that contains at least one unpaired electron is known as a radical.
The relative stability of radicals is the same as that of carbocations.
The stability of radicals is as follows:
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1PP
Solution:
Explanation of Solution
The radical is a methyl radical. So, it is the least stable.
The radical is given as follows:
The carbon containing the unpaired electron is primary. Thus, the radical is a primary radical.
The radical is given as follows:
The carbon containing the unpaired electron is tertiary. Thus, the radical is a tertiary radical.
The radical is given as follows:
The carbon containing the unpaired electron is secondary. Thus, the radical is a secondary radical.
Therefore, the tertiary radical is the most stable and the methyl radical is the least stable.
Hence, the decreasing order of the stability of the radical is as follows:

Both bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane and bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane are saturated hydrocarbons composed of only 2° and 3° carbons.
Recall that radical substitution generally takes place preferentially at a 3° carbon. Indeed, when bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane is
treated with bromotrichloromethane under irradiation, substitution takes place 100% at the 3° carbon. Under the same
conditions, however, no substitution is observed at the 3° carbon in bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane. Explain. Hint: Build molecular
models of each of these compounds.
