Question
Chapter 10, Problem 8PP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: An alkane, on reaction with chlorine, gives a single monochloro substitution product. Based on this information, the structure of the alkane is to be deduced.
Concept introduction:
Higher
If all the hydrogen atoms are homotopic, the halogenation of the alkane or the cycloalkane gives a single monochloro substitution product.
The hydrogen atoms that, on replacement by some other group, yield the same compound are known as homotopic hydrogens.
