Iodination of alkanes using iodine (I2) is usually an unfavorable reaction. (See 4-17, for example.) Tetraiodomethane (CI4) can be used as the iodine source for iodination, in the presence of a free-radical initiator such as hydrogen peroxide. Propose a mechanism (involving mildly exothermic propagation steps) for the following proposed reaction. Calculate the value of for each of the steps in your proposed mechanism.
