Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The products formed from monochlorination of (R)-2-bromobutane at C1 and C4 are to be predicted. R and S designations to each stereogenic centers is to be assigned.

Concept introduction: Halogens react with alkanes in presence of heat or light to form alkyl halides. This is known as halogenation reaction. This is a free radical substitution reaction. In this the halogen substitutes the hydrogen atom from CH sigma bond of the alkane.

Br2 in CCl4
4-Chloro-2-pentene has a double bond that can have either the E or the Z configuration and a stereogenic center that can have either the R or the S configuration. How many stereoisomers arepossible altogether? Draw the structure of each, and group the pairs of enantiomers.
