Question
How many chiral compounds are possible on monochlorination of 2 - methyl butane?(a) 4(b) 8(c) 6(d) 2
Step 1
- Chlorination at any methyl (terminal CH3 or the methyl substituent) gives a CH2Cl (carbon with two H) → not stereogenic. - Chlorination at C2 (the methine) would give C bonded to Cl and two methyl groups (identical CH3 groups) → not stereogenic. - Show more…
