Question
Chapter 14, Problem 20P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The value for the relative east of removing a hydrogen atom from tertiary, secondary and primary hydrogen carbons by a chlorine radical has to be given.
Concept introduction:
Radical or free radical: unpaired valence electron of an atom, molecule, or ion is called as radical.
Chlorine radical forms a tertiary radical five times faster than a primary radical and it forms a secondary radical 3.8 times faster than a primary radical.
Relative rates of alkyl radical formation by a chlorine radical at 125 °C.

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.
Free‑radical halogenation can occur with chlorine and a source of direct UV radiation or sunlight. Chlorination of 2,4‑dimethylpentane via radical halogenation leads to the formation of all three of the products shown. Estimate the relative percentages of each product that will be formed using this means of halogenation. Presume that 1 equivalent of chlorine is used.
