On monochlorination of 2-methylbutane, the total number of chiral compound formed is :

A

2

B

4

C

6

D

8

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The number of monohalogenation products obtained from any alkane depends upon the number of diiferent types of hydrogen it contains. The possible monochlorinated products of 2- methylbutane are :

out of these two are chiral centre.
