- Compounds X and Y are both C7H15Cl products formed in the radical chlorination of 2,4-dimethylpentane. Base-promoted E2 elimination of X and Y gives, in each case, a single C7H₁4 alkene. Both X and Y undergo an SN2 reaction with sodium iodide in acetone solution to give C7H15l products; in this reaction Y reacts faster than X. What is the structure of X? • Do not use stereobonds in your answer. • In cases where there is more than one possible structure for each molecule, just give one for each. .
