Answers to Practice Questions Chapter 9
9.1 Predict the percentage yield of each product for monochlorination of isobutane by calculation, and compare your calculated numbers to the experiment results. Are they consistent?
Calculation:
Amount of 1°-chloride: 9 (number of 1°hydrogens) × 1.0 (relative reactivity) = 9.0
Amount of 3°-chloride: 1 (number of 3°hydrogens) × 3.8 (relative reactivity) = 3.8
yield% of 1°-chloride: 8.0/12.8 = 70.3 %
yield% of 3°-chloride 3.8/12.8 = 29.7 %
The calculated values are consistent to the experiment results, not exactly same though.
9.2 Show the major bromination product of following reactions.
9.3 Show all the mono-chlorination products of butane with any stereoisomers when applied.
9.4 Design the synthesis route.
