(S)-3-Methylhexane undergoes radical bromination to yield optically inactive 3-bromo-3-methylhexane as the major product. Is the

product chiral
Chemistry

Whitepunk [10]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

No, the product is not chiral

Explanation:

The compound (S)-3-Methylhexane is chiral. However, the bromination of this compound via free radical mechanism yields an achiral intermediate as shown in the image attached to this answer.

This achiral intermediate is a flat and planar tertiary radical. Attack on either face of this radical specie is possible. This leads us to obtain a 50-50 mixture of (R) and (S) - 3-bromo-3-methylhexane.

This is a racemic mixture hence it is optically inactive.

Describe the benefits and the drawback of natural gas.
Finger [1]

When looking to power your equipment or vehicle with natural gas, the first question that springs to mind is: what is natural gas? A lot of people use natural gas in their homes for cooking and heating, but they don’t really give it some thought. So, let’s see what natural gas is and how it’s different from other forms of fossil fuels like oil and coal.

Natural Gas is a fossil fuel that exist in a gaseous state and is composed mainly of methane (CH4) a small percentage of other hydrocarbons (e.g. ethane). The use of natural gas is becoming more and more popular as it can be used with commercial, industrial, electric power generation and residential applications.
