Chapter 21, Problem 112AE

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: For the given reactions, the possible monochlorination products are to be drawn.

Concept introduction: Alkanes shows a substitution reaction with halogens like chlorine and bromine in the presence of light. The reaction is known as substitution reaction because one of the hydrogen atoms of an alkane is replaced by a halogen atom. The reactions of halogens with alkane yield haloalkane (alkyl halide) as a final product.

To determine: The structure of the possible monochlorination product.
