One-Electron Path Summary

1 Rank all species, using the numeral 1 to designate the most stable radical. 

2 Use radical stabilities to predict the regiochemistry of the radical addition chain reaction of HBr to propene (initiated by AIBN). 

113 Calculate the Mi for the abstraction of an H from ethane by a CCI3 radical. 

4 Calculate the Mi of an iodine radical adding to a carbon-carbon double bond. 

113 Check the AH of the propagation steps for the radical chain addition of HF to ethene to see whether it is an energetically reasonable process.
