Chapter 15, Problem 15.51P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The products formed in the given reaction along with the stereochemistry around any stereogenic center are to be drawn.

Concept introduction: Alkanes undergo chlorination when they are treated with ${\text{Cl}}_{\text{2}}$ in the presence of light or heat. Chlorination takes place at primary, secondary and tertiary carbon atom of alkanes. During free radical mechanism, planner achiral radical is formed. The attack of chlorine atom takes place from above and below the plane.
