Question

Identify the Alkane (molecular formula \( C_8H_{18} \)) which yields only a single monochloride on Chlorination in the presence of sunlight.

• A. 2,2,4-Trimethylpentane
• B. 2,4-Dimethylhexane
• C. 2,2,3,3-Tetramethylbutane
• D. 3,4-Dimethylhexane

Hint:

For single monochlorination product, always check molecular symmetryIf all hydrogens are equivalent, only one product forms.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C
