Question

How many total product obtained by monochlorination of 2-methyl butane and how many can be separated by fractional distillation?

Answer 1

Explanation:

ONLY isomers that are non-superimposable mirror images are enantiomers of each other. Diastereoisomers are, essentially, different compounds. They have different physical properties (solubility, m.p., b.p., NMR, IR spectra etc.) and can be separated by physical methods such as fractional distillation.

Answer 2

Explanation:

I count five monochloro derivatives of 2-methylbutane. Explanation: They are. 1-chloro-2-methylbutane. 1Cl2Me. 2-chloro-2-methylbutane . 2Cl2Me.

I count five monochloro derivatives of 2-methylbutane.

Explanation:

They are

1-chloro-2-methylbutane

2-chloro-2-methylbutane

(R)-2-chloro-3-methylbutane and (S)- 2-chloro-3-methylbutane

1-chloro-3-methylbutane
