Isopentane on monochlorination gives isomers and out of them are optically activ
Isopentane on monochlorination gives isomers and out of them are optically active :
- A. 3,1
- B. 4,2
- C. 3,2 \)
- D. 4,1
Step-by-step solution
Isopentane (2-methylbutane) has 4 distinct types of hydrogens, leading to 4 monochlorinated isomers. Among these, 2-(chloromethyl)butane and 3-chloro-2-methylbutane are chiral (optically active), while 2-chloro-2-methylbutane and 4-chloro-2-methylbutane are achiral. Thus, 4 isomers total, 2 optically active.
