Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The products for radical chlorination and bromination of given compound are to be drawn. The compounds which form single constitutional isomer for both reactions are to be predicted. The true structure of a reactant for both reactions to form a single product is to be identified.

Concept introduction: Chlorination and bromination are radical substitution reaction. In the reaction of chlorination, Cl replaces hydrogen atom and forms alkyl halide in the presence of light. Similarly, in the bromination, an alkyl halide is formed by the replacement of hydrogen atom from highly substituted carbon by Br. Bromination is highly specific reaction than chlorination. Constitutional isomers have same molecular formula but they differ in the connectivity of substituents.
