Organic Chemistry - Free Radical Halogenation Mechanism | 10.2 Organic Chemistry

In this lesson, Chad shows the mechanism for free radical halogenation. He first presents the mechanism for the free radical chlorination of methane showing the initiation, propagation, and termination steps. He then focuses on the first propagation step to explain why radical bromination is so much more selective than radical chlorination. Finally, Chad presents the mechanism of the free radical bromination of propane. He presents all initiation, propagation, termination steps and includes all the arrow-pushing.
