Chapter 10, Problem 27P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structural formulas of the four isomeric monochlorides of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane are to be written and the percentage of each of the two primary chlorides in the product mixtureis to be estimated.

Concept Introduction:

>

The relative rates of replacement of different types of hydrogen atoms by a halogen in an alkane depends on the type of radical (methyl, primary, secondary or tertiary) produced.

>

The product distribution depends on the relative rates and the number of equivalent sites of each type.

When 2-methylpropane is monochlorinated in the presence of light at room temperature, 36% of the product is 2-chloro-2-methylpropane and 64% is 1-chloro-2-methylpropane. From these data, calculate how much easier it is to remove a hydrogen atom from a tertiary carbon than from a primary carbon under these conditions.
Acrolein and 1,3-cyclohexadiene react in a one-step concerted manner to yield a single product.   Give the structure of the product.   What kind of reaction is this an example of?   In terms of this reaction, how would you classify acrolein?   How would you classify 1,3-cyclohexadiene?    Hint: acrolein is not a systematic name so you may need to look up its structure if you are not already familiar with it.
Photochemical chlorination of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane gives four isomeric monochlorides. (a) Write structural formulas for these four isomers. (b) The two primary chlorides make up 65% of the monochloride fraction. Assuming that all the primary hydrogens in 2,2,4-trimethylpentane are equally reactive, estimate the percentage of each of the two primary chlorides in the product mixture.
