Allylic 370 kJ/mol (88 kcal/mol) H Alkyl 410 kJ/mol (98 kcal/mol) Vinylic 465 kJ/mol (111 kcal/mol) We can thus expand the stability ordering to include vinylic and allylic radicals. H H R R H R1 B Vinylic Methyl Primary < Secondary Tertiary <Allylic Stability
Allylic Halogenation Avoid a large excess of Br2 by using N-bromosuccinimide (NBS)to generate Br2 as product HBr is formed. N-bromosuccinimide (NBS)is an allylic brominating agent. Keeps the concentration of Br2 low. Br2
