55) The first propagation step in free radical bromination is endothermic while the analogous step in free radical
chlorination is exothermic. From the Hammond Postulate, this means that the transition state for the bromination is
product-like (ie, radical-like) while the transition state for the chlorination is reactant-like. The product-like transition
state for bromination has the C-H bond nearly broken and a great deal of radical character on the carbon atom. The
energy of this transition state reflects most of the energy difference of the radical products. This is not true in the
chlorination case where the transition state possesses little radical character.

64) The reaction proceeds via the addition of Br· to the alkene. Two competing pathways are possible, but the transition
state leading to the more substituted alkyl radical is lower in energy. This process ultimately makes the addition
anti-Markovnikov in nature.

95) Unwanted radicals in biological systems must be destroyed before they can cause damage to cells. Vitamins C and E
are effective radical inhibitors since they form relatively stable radical upon reaction with more reactive radicals.
Vitamin C traps radicals in the aqueous cellular environment, while vitamin E traps radicals formed in nonpolar
membranes.

97) CFCs are persistent in the environment until they encounter ultraviolet light in the stratosphere. This interaction with a
UV photon will cleave the C-Cl bond in the CFC and generate a chlorine radical. The chlorine radical reacts with
ozone to form chlorine monoxide radical and molecular oxygen. The chlorine monoxide radical then reacts with a
molecule of ozone to produce oxygen and to regenerate a chlorine radical. The two steps are the propagating steps in a
radical chain reaction whereby a single chlorine radical can destroy about 100,000 ozone molecules.
