Question

Consider the following data: What percentages of 1-chloropropane and 2-chloropropane would you expect to obtain from the chlorination of propane if 1 degree and 2 degree hydrogen atoms were equally reactive? What percentages of 1-chloro-2-methylpropane and 2-chloro-2-methylpropane would you expect from the chlorination of 2-methylpropane if the 1 degree and 3 degree hydrogen atoms were equally reactive? Calculate the reactivates of the different classes of hydrogens and justify the assertion that the order of reactivity of the hydrogen atoms is 3 degree> 2 degree> 1 degree.

Explanation / Answer

Compare with primary carbocation, secondary carbocatio is more stable. so whatever the percentage are given those are correct.
