Features of free radicals
• A free radical has the following characteristic feature:
• Free radicals are electron deficient species.
• They are usually uncharged.
• They contain odd number of electrons.
• The carbon is sp2 hybridized.
• In methyl radical or other alkyl radicals, the radical centre is trivalent
and trigonally hybridized.
• It has planar structure.
• Extremely reactive species.
• Not a lewis acid.
The various ways by which free radicals may be
generated are
Photochemical cleavage
Thermal cleavage
Decomposition reaction
PHOTOCHEMICAL CLEAVAGE
The energy of light of 600 to 300 nm is 48 to 96 kcal/mol, which
is of the order of magnitude of covalent bond energies. Certain
molecules undergo homolytic fission in the presence of light of
that particular wavelength.
For example, the photochemical cleavage of chlorine molecule
results into the formation of chlorine free radicals.
THERMAL CLEAVAGE
Free radicals may be generated by thermal cleavage. In the
gaseous phase some molecules break down at high temperature.
When the molecule contains bonds with 20 to 40 kcal/mol of
energy, cleavage can be caused in the liquid phase.
For example, the thermal cleavage of azo compounds yields free
radical.
Azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN)
DECOMPOSITION REACTION
At times a radical molecule may undergo
decomposition to form another free radical.
For example, decomposition of benzoyl peroxide
radical gives phenyl radical and carbondioxide.
Initiation Step
light energy breaks the x-x bond giving two separate halide
radicals (X.).
X-X 2X.
hν
Propagation Steps:
Each X. formed in Step 1 has the ability to abstract (remove) an
H from ethane. We show this in Step 2 where X. removes an H
along with one of the electrons in the C-H bond. H- X forms in
Step 2 and leaves behind a reactive molecular fragment (CH3-
CH2
.) called an ethyl radical.
X. + CH3-CH3 HX + CH3-CH2
.
Chain termination step
• The ethyl radical like most alkyl radicals, is very reactive
because of its unshared electron. Alkyl radicals rapidly react
with other molecules or other radicals that provide another
electron to form a chemical bond. During ethane
halogenation, the ethyl radical reacts primarily with
molecular halide radical to form a C-X bond.
X. + X. X2
X. + CH3-CH2
. CH3-CH2X
Halogenation of Alkanes : X2/hv
IODINATION
• Highly reversible.
R-H R-I + H-I
The yield of R-I is very-very poor in Iodination.
Reason :
• Least reactive I.
• Reversible & equation is reached
• It is Endothermic process
• H-I produced is a strong reducing agent, it reduced to
R-I formed into alkane.
I2/hυ
FLUORINATION
• Reagent F2/hυ.
• It is highly exothermic process
• F . reactivity is extremely high
• All possible products get formed & they can be fractional distillation
• Chain breaking is also observed
R-CH2-CH3 R-CH2-CH2F + R-CFH-CH3 + R-CH2-F + CH3F
+ R-F + CH3-CH2F
• Fluorination is not a good method to get alkyl fluoride
• To avoid the chain breaking process some N2 gas is introduced (C-C
bond breaking not allowed)
R − CH2 − CH3
F2/hυ
N2
→ R-CFH-CH3 + R-CH2-CH2-F
F2/hυ
CHLORINATION
• Reagent Cl2/hυ.
• It is also exothermic process
• All possible products get formed in sufficient quantity & they can
be separated by fractional distillation
• Chain breaking is not observed
• Probability factor is defined for Cl2/hυ
• I˚ : II˚ : III˚ = 1 : 3.8 : 4.5
• Chlorination does not support radical stability, but it can be
supports radical stability only if it is stabilized by resonence.
CH3-CH2-CH3 CH3-CH2-CH2-Cl + CH3-CClH-CH3
CH3-CH2-CH2-CH3 CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-Cl +

Cl2/hυ
BROMINATION
• Reagent Br2/hυ.
• It is also exothermic process.
• All products cannot be separated by fractional distillation.
• Chain breaking is not observed.
• Probability factor is defined for Br2/hυ
I˚ : II˚ : III˚ = 1 : 82 : 1600

  • 2. Type of cleavage Features of free radicals The various ways by which free radicals may be generated  Mechanism of free radical Halogenation of Ethane CONTENTS Homolytic cleavage Heterolytic cleavage
  • 3. Type of cleavage Heterolytic cleavage Homolytic cleavage X-Y or X:Y  X+ + Y- X2 or X-X or X:X  X. + .X Free radicalCation anion
  • 4. Features of free radicals • A free radical has the following characteristic feature: • Free radicals are electron deficient species. • They are usually uncharged. • They contain odd number of electrons. • The carbon is sp2 hybridized. • In methyl radical or other alkyl radicals, the radical centre is trivalent and trigonally hybridized. • It has planar structure. • Extremely reactive species. • Not a lewis acid.
  • 5. The various ways by which free radicals may be generated are Photochemical cleavage Thermal cleavage Decomposition reaction
  • 6. PHOTOCHEMICAL CLEAVAGE The energy of light of 600 to 300 nm is 48 to 96 kcal/mol, which is of the order of magnitude of covalent bond energies. Certain molecules undergo homolytic fission in the presence of light of that particular wavelength. For example, the photochemical cleavage of chlorine molecule results into the formation of chlorine free radicals.
  • 7. THERMAL CLEAVAGE Free radicals may be generated by thermal cleavage. In the gaseous phase some molecules break down at high temperature. When the molecule contains bonds with 20 to 40 kcal/mol of energy, cleavage can be caused in the liquid phase. For example, the thermal cleavage of azo compounds yields free radical. Azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN)
  • 8. DECOMPOSITION REACTION At times a radical molecule may undergo decomposition to form another free radical. For example, decomposition of benzoyl peroxide radical gives phenyl radical and carbondioxide.
  • 9. Initiation Step light energy breaks the x-x bond giving two separate halide radicals (X.). X-X 2X. hν
  • 10. Propagation Steps: Each X. formed in Step 1 has the ability to abstract (remove) an H from ethane. We show this in Step 2 where X. removes an H along with one of the electrons in the C-H bond. H- X forms in Step 2 and leaves behind a reactive molecular fragment (CH3- CH2 .) called an ethyl radical. X. + CH3-CH3 HX + CH3-CH2 .
  • 11. Chain termination step • The ethyl radical like most alkyl radicals, is very reactive because of its unshared electron. Alkyl radicals rapidly react with other molecules or other radicals that provide another electron to form a chemical bond. During ethane halogenation, the ethyl radical reacts primarily with molecular halide radical to form a C-X bond. X. + X. X2 X. + CH3-CH2 . CH3-CH2X
  • 12. Halogenation of Alkanes : X2/hv IODINATION • Highly reversible. R-H R-I + H-I The yield of R-I is very-very poor in Iodination. Reason : • Least reactive I. • Reversible & equation is reached • It is Endothermic process • H-I produced is a strong reducing agent, it reduced to R-I formed into alkane. I2/hυ
  • 13. FLUORINATION • Reagent F2/hυ. • It is highly exothermic process • F . reactivity is extremely high • All possible products get formed & they can be fractional distillation • Chain breaking is also observed R-CH2-CH3 R-CH2-CH2F + R-CFH-CH3 + R-CH2-F + CH3F + R-F + CH3-CH2F • Fluorination is not a good method to get alkyl fluoride • To avoid the chain breaking process some N2 gas is introduced (C-C bond breaking not allowed) R − CH2 − CH3 F2/hυ N2 → R-CFH-CH3 + R-CH2-CH2-F F2/hυ
  • 14. CHLORINATION • Reagent Cl2/hυ. • It is also exothermic process • All possible products get formed in sufficient quantity & they can be separated by fractional distillation • Chain breaking is not observed • Probability factor is defined for Cl2/hυ • I˚ : II˚ : III˚ = 1 : 3.8 : 4.5 • Chlorination does not support radical stability, but it can be supports radical stability only if it is stabilized by resonence. CH3-CH2-CH3 CH3-CH2-CH2-Cl + CH3-CClH-CH3 CH3-CH2-CH2-CH3 CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-Cl + CH3-CClH-CH2-CH3 Cl2/hυ Cl2/hυ
  • 15. BROMINATION • Reagent Br2/hυ. • It is also exothermic process. • All products cannot be separated by fractional distillation. • Chain breaking is not observed. • Probability factor is defined for Br2/hυ I˚ : II˚ : III˚ = 1 : 82 : 1600 CH3-CH2-CH2-CH3 CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-Br + CH3-CHBr-CH2-CH3 Br2/hυ
