Question
n-Butane on monochlorination under photochemical conditions gives an optically active compound "P". "P" on further chlorination gives dichloro compounds.
The number of dichloro compounds obtained (ignore stereoisomers) is :
Options
A.3
B.4
C.5
D.6
Solution
Sol. [Key Concept: $n$-butane monochlorination gives optically active $2$-chlorobutane (P); further chlorination of P yields $4$ dichloro constitutional isomers (ignoring stereoisomers).]
Total dichloro products (excluding stereoisomers) = 4
