Question

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Explanation Question:

Question is asking total number of monochloro product of 2-methyl butane and fractions obtained on fractional distillation.

Concept:

This question is based on photochemical monochlorination of 2-methylbutane and fractional distillation.

Solution:

Photochemical monochlorination is a free radical substitution reaction of alkane.

Enantiomers have same boiling point so they come together on fractional distillation.
