Answer the question posed in Problem 17 for (a) butane and (b) 2-methylpropane. Use the data in Table 3-2 to determine the bond most likely to cleave homolytically, and use that bond cleavage as your first step.
Problem 17
Write as many products as you can think of that might result from the pyrolytic cracking of propane. Assume that the only initial process is C-C bond cleavage.
