Chapter 10.2, Problem 3P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structures of all monochloro products obtainable by the radical chlorination of 2-methylpentane are to be given and named. Among them which are chiral is also to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The hydrogens present in an alkane can be classified into different types depending upon the nature of other groups attached to the carbon bearing them. During substitution reactions, the halogen will get substituted for all types of hydrogens leading to a mixture of monochloro substitution products.

A molecule is chiral and will be optically active if it has at-least one carbon atom bonded to four different groups.

To draw and name:

All the monochloro substitution products C6H13Cl, obtainable when 2-methylbutane reacts with chlorine.

To state:

Which among the products obtained are chiral and optically active.
