An alkane with a molecular formula of C8H18 reacts with chlorine in the presence of light and heat to give a single monochloride C8H17Cl. What is the most reasonable structure for the starting alkane?

Question

1-chloro octane i think but not sure

anonymous · Answer

It has given a single mono chloride product. it means that all hydrogens thus all radicals of the starting material were the same. IHD is zero. so I think this isomer is true:
2,2,3,3-Tetramethylbutane
