The C—Cl bond dissociation enthalpies of propyl and isopropyl chloride are the same within experimental error (see Table 10.1). However, it is incorrect to conclude that the data indicate equal stabilities of propyl and isopropyl radical. Why? Why are the bond dissociation enthalpies of propane a better indicator of the free-radical stabilities?
