Number of isomeric products formed by monochlorination of 2-methylbutane in presence of sunlight is .
Answer
6
Solution
[figure] has 4 types of H ⇒ 4 structural products with Cl2, hν:
[figure] C-2 chiral ⇒ 2 (d + l)
[figure] achiral ⇒ 1
[figure] C-2 chiral ⇒ 2 (d + l)
[figure] achiral ⇒ 1
∴ Total isomeric products = 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 6
Answer: 6
