Why alkyl halides are not generally prepared in laboratory by free radical halogenation of alkanes?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

For the preparation of alkyl halides in the laboratory, free radical halogenation of alkanes is not a suitable method since it results in the formation of many isomeric monosubstituted products through substitution of different kinds of hydrogen atoms. Moreover, poly halogenation may also take place
