Chapter 10.4, Problem 6P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The relative amounts of propyl chloride and isopropylchloride obtained in free-radial chlorination of propane are to be calculated assuming that the relative rates of secondary to primary hydrogen abstraction are 3.9:1.

Concept introduction:

Rates of abstraction of different types of hydrogens by chlorine differs because of the differences in energies of the corresponding transition states.

The product distribution depends on the rate of abstraction of a particular type of proton and the number of equivalent protons of that type.
