e) Remember! Resonance stabilization of radicals is always good (unlike for carbocations where it can be bad…)

f)

g)

2. For the following reactions determine a) the product; b) the mechanism (draw it and identify it); c) if the reaction is endothermic or exothermic (based on the relative stability of the products and starting materials); d) draw the reaction co-ordinate diagram; e) considering the Hammond postulate, draw the expected transition state clearly indicating its resemblance to the appropriate intermediate or stable species.
