Question

How many monochlorinated products can be obtained from all the isomeric alkanes having the formula C5H10(excluding stereoisomers)?


Open in App
Solution

Monochlorination:

  • Monochlorination reaction in which there is the substitution of only one Hydrogen atom by one Chlorine atom in an organic compound.
  • When C5H10 reacts with chlorine in presence of UV rays, it gives 14 different mono chlorinated compounds (excluding stereoisomers).

C5H10(g)uvraysCl2C5H9Cl(g)+HCl(g)

  • The products are

1-Chlorocyclopentane:

  1. It is a monochlorinated compound in which chlorine is attached to cyclopentane.

1-Chloro-2-methylcyclobutane:

  1. It is a monochlorinated compound in which chlorine is attached at the first carbon and methyl group is attached to the second carbon of cyclobutane,

1-Chloro-3-methylcyclobutane:

  1. It is a monochlorinated compound in which chlorine is attached to the first carbon atom and a methyl group is attached to the third carbon of cyclobutane.

1-Chloro-2,2-dimethylcyclopropane:

  1. It is a monochlorinated compound in which chlorine is attached to the first carbon and two methyl group is attached to the second carbon of cyclopropane.

1-Chloro-2,3-dimethyl cyclopropane:

  1. It is a monochlorinated compound in which chlorine is attached to the first carbon atom and two methyl groups are attached to the second and third carbon of cyclopropane.

1-Chloro-2-methyl cyclopropyl methane:

  1. It is a monochlorinated compound in which chlorine is attached to the carbon of methane along with a cyclopropyl group to which a methyl group is attached to its second carbon.

1-Chloro-2-ethyl cyclopropane:

  1. It is a monochlorinated compound in which chlorine is attached to the first carbon along with the ethyl group at the second carbon of cyclopropane.

1-Chloro-2-cyclopropylethane:

  1. It is a monochlorinated compound in which chlorine is attached to the first carbon and cyclopropyl group is attached to the second carbon of ethane.

1-Chloro-1-cyclopropylethane:

  1. It is a monochlorinated compound in which a chlorine group and a cyclopropyl group is attached to the first carbon atom of ethane.

1-chloro-1,2-dimethylcyclopropane:

  1. It is a monochlorinated compound in which chlorine is attached to the first carbon along with a methyl group and another methyl group is attached to the second carbon of cyclopropane.

1-Chloro-1-cyclobutylmethane:

  1. It is a monochlorinated compound in which chlorine and a methyl group is attached to the first carbon of cyclobutane.

1-Chloro-1-methylcyclobutane:

  1. It is a monochlorinated compound in which chlorine and a methyl group are attached to the first carbon of cyclobutane.

1-Chloro-1-ethyl cyclopropane:

  1. It is a monochlorinated compound in which a chlorine atom and an ethyl group are attached to the first carbon of cyclopropane.

1-Chloro-1(1-methyl cyclopropyl) methane:

  1. It is a monochlorinated compound in which chlorine and a cyclopropyl group with a methyl group attached to its first carbon are attached to the first carbon of methane.
