Question

When propylbenzene reacts with tert-butylhypochlorite three monochlorinated products are formed in the ratios 65%,25%,10%. Calculate a reactivity order for each type of hydrogen atom in propylbenzene.

Explanation / Answer

C6H5(CH2CH2CH3) + (CH3)3COOCl -----> C6H5(CHClCH2CH3) (65%) +C6H5(CH2CHClCH3) (25%) + C6H5(CH2CH2CH2Cl) (10%) 1. Refer to above reaction. When propylbenzene reacts with tert-butylhypochlorite three monochlorinated products are formed in the ratios indicated. Calculate a reactivity order for each type of hydrogen atom in propylbenzene. keywords: 1-propylbenzene, phenylpropane, 1-phenylpropane This solution illustrates how to calculate the reactivity order of the hydrogens in propylbenzene using its reaction with t-butyl hypochlorite and the percentages of the chloropropylbenzenes formed.
