Chapter 10, Problem 26P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The monochloride products of photochemical chlorination of heptane other than 1-chloroheptane are to be listed, the percentages of all C7H15Cl isomers other than 1-chloroheptane are to be estimated given that the mixture contains 15% 1-chloroheptane and the percentage of 1-chlorododecane in the mixture of photochemical monochlorination products of dodecane is to be estimated.

Concept Introduction:

>

The relative rates of replacement of different types of hydrogen atoms by a halogen in an alkane depends on the type of radical (methyl, primary, secondary or tertiary) produced.

>

The product distribution depends on the relative rates and the number of equivalent sites of each type.

Photochemical chlorination of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane gives four isomeric monochlorides. (a) Write structural formulas for these four isomers. (b) The two primary chlorides make up 65% of the monochloride fraction. Assuming that all the primary hydrogens in 2,2,4-trimethylpentane are equally reactive, estimate the percentage of each of the two primary chlorides in the product mixture.
When 2-methylpropane is monochlorinated in the presence of light at room temperature, 36% of the product is 2-chloro-2-methylpropane and 64% is 1-chloro-2-methylpropane. From these data, calculate how much easier it is to remove a hydrogen atom from a tertiary carbon than from a primary carbon under these conditions.
