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?

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

1-chloro octane i think but not sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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
