ERRATA CHAPTER 13

p. 504, answers to worked problems, paragraph 2 should read, " The addition of the hydroxy or alkoxy radical
to the alkene is a possible reaction pathway, but with these highly reactive radicals, hydrogen atom
abstraction, which leads to the formation of a new H—O  bond, is considerably more exothermic and
therefore more favorable.

p. 505, Table 13.3, last two rows should have X, Y = N2 (diaz…) in the first column

p. 518, footnote 65: Roberts dies in 2016.

p. 521, end of paragraph 2 under "Reactivity of Benzyne" should read:

(3) a fluoro group, which is electron-withdrawing by induction, and relatively weakly electron-releasing by
resonance; and (4)…

p. 529, problem 13-20: The reaction below is an example of a group transfer reaction. It occurs by a free radical
mechanism. What are the propagation steps of the reaction?
