Question

Identify all the possible monochloro structural isomers expected to be formed on free radical monochlorination of (CH3)3CHCH2CH3

Answer 1

Answer:

The quotation says all the possible monochloro structural isomer.(4) is a 3* so it will be more stabke than the other's.But you have to write all the four points.

Answer 2

Answer:

Number of possible isomers upon the free radical monochlorination of (CH)3CHCH2CH3 are four.

Explanation:

• In monochlorination reaction, chlorine substitutes hydrogen in the presence of sunlight.
• In the given molecule five carbons are present, so monochlorination can occur on these carbon atoms.
• The four isomers formed will be:

1. (CH3)2CHCH2CH2Cl
2. (CH3)2CHCH(Cl)C
3. (CH3)2C(Cl)CH2CH3
4. CH3CH(CH2Cl)CH2

Hence, the above four isomers will be formed upon monochlorination of hydrocarbons.
