After completing this section, you should be able to
1. explain why the radical halogenation of alkanes is not usually a particularly good method of preparing pure samples of alkyl halides.
2. describe the experimental results which lead to the conclusion that in radical chlorination reactions, the reactivity of methine, methylene and methyl hydrogens decreases in the ratio 5 : 3.5 : 1.
3. use the Hammond postulate to account for the fact that in radical chlorinations, the reactivity of hydrogen atoms decreases in the order methine > methylene > methyl.
4. predict the approximate ratio of the expected products from the monochlorination of a given alkane.
