Interpretation: The products for radical chlorination and bromination of given compound are to be drawn. The compounds which form single constitutional isomer for both reactions are to be predicted. The true structure of a reactant for both reactions to form a single product is to be identified.
Concept introduction: Chlorination and bromination are radical substitution reaction. In the reaction of chlorination,
Answer to Problem 15.41P
The products of radical chlorination and bromination of given compound are,
A single constitutional isomer is formed for both reactions.
Explanation of Solution
Figure 1
Alkanes undergo bromination through free radical mechanism when they are treated with
Figure 2
A single constitutional isomer is formed for both reaction because all hydrogen atoms of given compound are present in a same chemical environment. Therefore, to form a single product, the chemical environment of hydrogen atoms should be same.
The products of radical chlorination and bromination of given compound are shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2, respectively. A single constitutional isomer is formed for both reactions.

Figure 3
Alkanes undergo bromination by free radical mechanism when they are treated with
Figure 4
A single constitutional isomer is formed for bromination reaction but not for chlorination because bromine is more selective than chlorine.
