The major product obtained in the photo catalysed bromination of 2-methylbutane is:
The major product obtained in the photo catalysed bromination of 2-methylbutane is:
1-bromo-2-methylbutane
1-bromo-3-methylbutane
2-bromo-3-methylbutane
2-bromo-2-methylbutane
Solution
The order of substitution in different alkanes is
$
3^{\circ}>2^{\circ}>1^{\circ}
$
Thus the bromination of 2-methyl butane mainly gives 2-Bromo-2 - methyl butane
