(a)
To draw: The possible monochlorinated products from the given free-radical chlorination of indane.
Interpretation: The possible monochlorinated products from the given free-radical chlorination of indane are to be drawn.
Concept introduction: The reaction that includes the addition of one or more than one chlorine atoms in a compound is known as chlorination reaction. Chlorination reaction is a type of halogenation reaction.
The free-radical chlorination occurs under the application of UV light on an
Halogenation proceeds via radical substitution reaction because a halogen atom replaces hydrogen through radical mechanism that involves radical intermediates.
(b)
To draw: The possible dichlorinated products from the given free-radical chlorination of indane.
Interpretation: The possible dichlorinated products from the given free-radical chlorination of indane are to be drawn.
Concept introduction: The reaction that includes the addition of one or more than one chlorine atoms in a compound is known as chlorination reaction. Chlorination reaction is a type of halogenation reaction.
The free-radical chlorination occurs under the application of UV light on an alkane compound or he alkyl-substituted aromatic compounds. This reaction proceeds via free-radical chain mechanism.
Halogenation proceeds via radical substitution reaction because a halogen atom replaces hydrogen through radical mechanism that involves radical intermediates.
(c)
To determine: The instrumental technique that is helpful in predicting the total number of products, total number of monochlorinated and dichlorinated products formed by the free-radical chlorination of indane.
Interpretation: The instrumental technique that is helpful in predicting the total number of products, total number of monochlorinated and dichlorinated products formed by the free-radical chlorination of indane is to be predicted.
