Question

How many structural monochloro products are obtained by methyl cyclopentane?

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 5 isomers

1,2-Dimethylcyvlopentane(trans)

1,2-Dimethylcyclopentane(cis)

1,3-Dimethylcyclopentane(trans)

1,3-Dimethylcyclopentane(cis)

1,1-Dimethylcyclopentane

Answer 2

Answer:

Total fourteen monochlorinated products can be obtained from all the isomeric alkanes having the formula $C_{5}H_{10}$

Explanation:

• Cyclopentane $(C_{5}H_{10})$ Is composed of a ring a five carbon atoms, where we each carbon Adam has two hydrogens bonded to it. The 3-D structure shown above is a minimum energy configuration for the molecule.
• Total fourteen monochlorinated products can be obtained from all the isomeric alkanes having the formula C5 H10  (excluding stereoisomers). These are as shown.
