An organic compound `C_(8)H_(18)` on monochlorination gives a single monochloride. Write the structure of the hydrocarbon.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since the hydrocarbon gives a single monochloride all the 18H atoms are equivalent. This means it has six `CH_(3)` groups attached to the interlinked C atoms.
Therefore, its structure is
`CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)C-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)C-CH_(3)`
