How many monochlorination products can be formed (constitutional isomers only) from the reaction of ch3ch2ch2ch2ch2ch3 with cl2 in the presence of light?
3 monochlorination products can be formed (constitutional isomers only) from the reaction of CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 with Cl2 and hν.
What is the end result of monochlorination?
Isomeric products are formed when alkanes larger than ethane are halogenated. Thus, when propane is chlorinated, both 1-chloropropane and 2-chloropropane are produced as mono-chlorinated products.
All isomeric alkanes with the formula C5H10 can yield a total of fourteen monochlorinated products (excluding stereoisomers).
2,2-dimethylpropane. Chlorination is one of the reactions that alkanes undergo, in which a hydrogen atom in the alkane is substituted with a chlorine atom when the alkane is reacted with chlorine in the presence of light.
We discussed a relatively simple reaction last time: free-radical chlorination of methane to (CH4) to give chloromethane (CH3Cl), and how the reaction proceeds through three stages: initiation (where free radicals are formed), propagation (the main "product-forming" step of the chain reaction, where a chloroalkane is formed without net formation of new free radicals), and termination (where radicals combine, resulting in a net reduction of the number of free radicals).
