Number of isomeric products formed by monochlorination of -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 -methyl butane gives four structural isomers.
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
