JEE Main 2025 Chemistry question
Propane molecule on chlorination under photochemical condition gives two di-chloro products, "x" and "y". Amongst "x" and "y", "x" is an optically active molecule. How many tri-chloro products (consider only structural isomers) will be obtained from "x" when it is further treated with chlorine under the photochemical condition?
Answer: (1)
Solution
X is CH3-CHCl-CH2Cl. Further chlorination gives 4 distinct structural tri-chloro isomers.
