Chlorination of cyclohexane to prepare chlorocyclohexane is more practicable than the chlorination of methyl cyclohexane to prepare 1-chloro-1-methylcyclohexane-explanin.

Explanation

There are five types of non-equivalent H-atoms in methylcyclohexane
.
When it undergoes chlorination, four other monochloro derivatives are formed along with 1-chloro-1-methylcyclohexane
.
As a result, the yield of the desired product is low and it is difficult to separate the product from the mixture. on the other hand, all H-atoms in cyclohexane are equivalent and thus, only chlorocyclohexane

is formed as the product. For this reason, chlorination of cyclohexane to product. For this reason, is more feasible than the chlorination of methylcyclohexane to prepare 1-chloro-1- methylcyclohexane.
