Question

A mixture of all isomers of pentane is allowed to react with chlorine radicals (produced by photochemical cleavage of Cl2). How many different isomeric alkyl radicals can form by hydrogen abstraction in the following reaction?
Pentane (all isomers )+Cl Pentyl radicals (all isomers) +HCl
  1. 6
  2. 7
  3. 8
  4. 5

A
5
B
6
C
7
D
8
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Pentane radicals (3)
Isopentane radicals (4)
Neopentane radicals (1)
So total 8 radicals are possible
Note-Consider removal of hydrogen from all unique positions.
