Textbook Question
Chapter 8, Problem 8.59SP
Draw a reaction-energy diagram for the propagation steps of the free-radical addition of HBr to isobutylene. Draw curves representing the reactions leading to both the Markovnikov and the anti-Markovnikov products. Compare the values of ΔG° and Ea for the rate-limiting steps, and explain why only one of these products is observed.

Allylic bromination of alkenes is accomplished with the reagent NBS (N-bromosuccinimide).
The reaction proceeds by a radical chain mechanism.
For the following reaction:
NBS
Br
light, CCI4
a Select the species that you would expect to react in the first propagation step and draw
curly arrows to show the mechanism. Use half-headed (fishhook) curved arrows to show
electron reorganization.
When drawing bond formation by pairing of single electrons, terminate the arrows in a
hotspot located to one side of a reacting radical. This hotspot is not associated with any
structural feature.

- A novel heterocyclic compound, M, contains nitrogen and sulfur atoms and exhibits interesting photochemical properties. When exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light at a specific wavelength, M undergoes a photoreaction resulting in two products: N and O. Product N is formed through a [2+2] cycloaddition involving the nitrogen atom in M, while product O results from a homolytic cleavage of a sulfur-sulfur bond in M. Given these reaction pathways, what is the most probable structure of M, and what are the likely structures of N and O? A. M is a thiazole derivative; N is a dimerized product through the nitrogen atoms, and O is a compound with two sulfur-centered radicals. B.
