A compound A contains C and H only and has molecular mass 72. It's photochlorination gives a mixture containing only one monochloro and two dichloro hydrocarbons. The IUPAC name is
Options
- A2, 2-dimethylpropane
- Bn-pentane
- C2-methyl butane
- Dcyclopentane
Correct answer
A. 2, 2-dimethylpropane
Step-by-step solution
C ₅ H ₁₂ , pentane has molecular mass 72 ~g i.e. the isomer of pentane which yields single monochloro derivative and two dichloro derivative is 2, 2-dimethyl propane as it has all equivalent hydrogens.
