The major product obtained in the photo catalysed bromination of 2-methylbutane is:
Options
- A1-bromo-2-methylbutane
- B1-bromo-3-methylbutane
- C2-bromo-3-methylbutane
- D2-bromo-2-methylbutane
Correct answer
D. 2-bromo-2-methylbutane
Step-by-step solution
The order of substitution in different alkanes is
3^{{}^{\circ}}>2^{{}^{\circ}}>1^{{}^{\circ}}
Thus the bromination of 2-methyl butane mainly gives 2-Bromo-2 - methyl butane
