The free radical chlorination of isopentane yields isomeric monochlorinated isopentanes, namely: 1-chloro-2-methybutane; 2-chloro-2-methylbutane; 2-chloro-3-methylbutane; 1-chloro-3-methylbutane. Draw the mechanism and calculate the % yield of each product, assuming that at a specific temperature, the relative reactivities of 3º, 2º, 1° Hydrogen Atoms are in the ratio of 5:3: 1 in free radical chlorination reactions.
