Question

C. KIVIP D. ADP E. CAMP 14. A recently reported mutase may generate an intermediate having a free radical. If you studied this reaction, which the following would you look for in the mechanism that would be characteristic of other mutase reactions? A. Nucleophilic attack on a carbonyl carbon B. A ring in a prosthetic group that could undergo resonance stabilization C. An SN1 substitution D. A requirement for O2 E.) Homeolytic cleavage of a covalent bond Thir ir not the case! What is the

Answer 1

Option E is correct...

Explanation...

Homolytic cleavage is the breaking of a covalent bond in such a way that each fragment gets one of the shared electrons.

The word homolytic comes from the Greek homoios, "equal", and lysis, "loosening".
