Number of isomeric products formed by monochlorination of 22-methylbutane in presence of sunlight is _______.Number of isomeric products formed by monochlorination of 2 -methylbutane in presence of sunlight is _______.

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Monochlorination means the addition of a chlorine atom. When chlorine atom is added to the below structure. Chlorine will substitute at one of the hydrogens

Mono chlorination of 22-methyl butane gives four structural isomers.
Number of isomeric products formed by monochlorination of 2 -methylbutane in presence of sunlight is _______.

Here only two, i.e., I and III are optically active. Since each optically active compound has two enantiomers, therefore, total six isomeric compounds are possible.

∴∴ Number of isomeric products =6= 6
