In the study of chlorination of propane four products (A,B,C and D) (structural isomerism) of the formula `C_3H_6Cl_2` were isolated. Each was further chlorinated to provide trichloro products `(C_3H_5Cl_3)` It was found that A provide one trichloro produce, B gave two and C and D each gave three. It is found that D is optically active.
Correct formula of the compound D is

A

`CH_3"CCl"_2CH_3`

B

`Cl CH_2 Cl CH CH_2 Cl`

C

`CH_3 CH_2 CH Cl_2`

D

`Cl CH_2 CH Cl CH_3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`ClCH_2CHCl CH_3` . It is optical active

A hydrocarbon P has molecular formula C_8H_(16) , and it does not undergo hydrogenation with raney Ni. A on free radical chlorination yields three monochloro derivatives Q, R and S (all structural isomers) with their molecular formula C_8 H_(15)Cl . Only Q can show optical isomerism R. On further chlorination produces a dichloride C_8 H_(14) Cl_2 , as one of the several isomers which on heating with sodium metal in etheral solution gives bicyclo [2, 2, 2] octane. If S is dichlorinated, how many isomers would be produced? (exclude stereoisomers)
