Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The products and ratios obtained after monochlorination of 3-methylpentane at 25 °C should be written.

Concept introduction: The chlorination performed with ultraviolet light proceeds via radical chain mechanism.

Tertiary C – H bonds react in halogenations more readily than secondary those in turn are faster to react than primary. This can be attributed to stability of radical formed upon C – H bond cleavage via hyperconjugation.

The phenomenon of hyperconjugation refers to donation of σ electrons into the partly vacant p orbital lobes of radical carbon. More will be number of σ orbital capable of donation of electrons more is the stabilization.
