free radical chlorination
« on: March 11, 2010, 08:46:57 PM »
um, i'm just checking..
a chlorine radical will more willingly knock out a 3rd degree hydrogen than a 2nd degree hydrogen and a 2nd degree hydrogen than a first degree, right?

It's tertiary, secondary, and primary.  I believe the selectivity is something like 5:4:1 in that order.
