The number of mono bromo structural isomers formed by free radical bromination of isopentane are
- A 4
- B 2
- C 1
- D 3
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) 4
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Isopentane (2-methylbutane) has hydrogens at 4 distinct positions for substitution: 1. Primary (\( \text{CH}_3 \) groups on \( \text{C}_1 \) and \( \text{C}_5 \) are equivalent) 2. Tertiary (\( \text{C}_2 \) carbon) 3. Secondary (\( \text{C}_3 \) carbon) 4. Primary (…

- Read the Passage below and answer the question:
Aldehydes and Ketones, having atleast one methyl group linked to the carbonyl carbon atom (methyl Ketones), are oxidised by sodium hypohalite to sodium salts of corresponding carboxylic acids having one carbon atom less than that of carbonyl compound is converted to haloform. This oxidation does not affect a carbon - carbon double bond, if present in a molecule.

- Read the passage carefully and answer the Questions
Haloalkanes undergo nucelophilic substitution reactions owing to the polarity of CX bond. The nucleophile reacts with the haloalkane on the carbon possessing a partial positive charge holding the halogen atom. The halogen atom X is replaced by a nucleophile. Depending on the kinetics and mode of bond breaking, the mechanism can be either SN1 or SN2 reaction. The rate of SN1 reaction is governed by the stability of carbocation and in SN2 reaction, the rate of reaction is governed by steric factor. Chirality is the main factor in both SN1and SN2. In SN1 reaction, the chirality of alkyl halide is accompanied by racemization of the product, while in SN2 reaction, the product is characterized by inversion of configuration. The structure of alkyl halide and the nature of the solvent also governs the mechanism of the substitution.
