6) Acyl peroxides are commonly used as initiators in radical processes but react in interesting ways in absence of a substrate. Propose a complete mechanism that explains the following decomposition.
7) Halogen abstraction is preferred over hydrogen abstraction by tin radicals (R3Sn·). Propose a complete mechanism for the following transformation:
8) The benzylic bromination of A is expected to give mainly compound B but, in practice, product C is the major product. Explain the formation of product C using a reasonable mechanism.
