QUESTION:

Rank each group of radicals in order of increasing stability: (a) (b)

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

(a)

These radicals all contain cyclic alkanes in nature, with one of them including an allylic radical.

The order of the stability of the radicals is as follows:

allylic >  >  >  > methyl

Following the stability order given above, ranking of these radicals in order of increasing stability would be as follows: 4 (primary radical) < 2 (secondary radical) < 1 (tertiary radical) < 3 (allylic radical)
