Out of the five isomeric hexanes, the isomer that can give two monochlorinated compounds is

A

2,3-Dimethyl butane

B

2,2-Dimethyl butane

C

2,2-Dimethyl pentane

D

n-Hexane

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The isomeric hexane should have two different types of H atoms and four similar types of H atoms to give two monochlorinated products.

In 2,3-dimethyl butane, H atoms at positions .a. and .b. are the same. So, two positions are available for chlorination.

The prefixes 'erythro' and 'threo' are used for distinguishing a pair of enantiomers containing two chiral carbon atoms when two of the atoms or groups on each chiral carbon atom are the same while the third is different. The stereoisomer, in which the two identical groups are on the same side of the Fischer projection formula, is called the erythro isomer while the isomer, in which the two identical groups are on the opposite sides of the Fischer projection formula, is called the threo isomer.
