Answer to Problem 48AP
Four different monochlorination products are possible by the radical bromination of methylcyclohexane. They are bromomethylcyclobutane(I), 1-bromo-1-methylcyclobutane(II), 1-bromo-2-methylcyclobutane(III) and 1-bromo-3-methylcyclobutane(IV).
The relative percentage of 1°, 2° and 3° hydrogens in methylcyclobutane is 0.15: 23.1: 76.8.
Explanation of Solution
Methylcyclobutane has four types of hydrogens, one in methyl, a second on C1 to which methyl group is attached, a third one on C2 and C4 and a fourth one on C3. It has three 1° hydrogens, six 2° hydrogens and one 3° hydrogen. Hence four monochlorination products are possible.
The relative rate of radical bromonation of 1° hydrogens = 3 x 1 = 3.
The relative rate of radical bromonation of 2° hydrogens = 6 x 82 = 492.
The relative rate of radical bromonation of 3° hydrogens = 1 x 1640 = 1640.
Total rate of radical bromonation of all hydrogens = 3+492+1640 = 2135.
Therefore the relative percentage of
Radical bromonation of 1° hydrogens = 3/2135 x 100= 0.15%.
Radical bromonation of 2° hydrogens = 492/2135 x 100= 23.1%.
Radical bromonation of 3° hydrogens = 1640/2135 x 100= 76.8%.

Answer to Problem 48AP
Three different monochlorination products are possible by the radical bromination of 3-bromomethyl-3-methylpentane. They are bromomethylcyclobutane(I), 2-bromo-3,3-dimethylpentane(II) and 1-bromo-3,3-dimethylpentane (III).
The relative percentage of 10and 20 hydrogens in 3,3-dimethylpentane is 3.6:96.4.
Explanation of Solution
3,3-Dimethylpentane has two types of hydrogens, one in methyl groups and other in CH2 attached to methyl group. Hence two monochlorination products are possible. It has twelve 1° hydrogens and four 2° hydrogen atoms.
The relative rate of radical bromonation of 1° hydrogens = 12 x 1 = 12.
The relative rate of radical bromonation of 2° hydrogens = 4 x 82 = 328.
Total rate of radical bromonation of all hydrogens = 12+328 = 340.
Therefore the relative percentage of
Rdical bromonation of 1° hydrogens = 12/340 x 100= 3.6%.
Rdical bromonation of 2° hydrogens = 328/340 x 100=96.4%.
Three different monochlorination products are possible by the radical bromination of 3-bromomethyl-3-methylpentane. They are bromomethylcyclobutane(I), 2-bromo-3,3-dimethylpentane(II) and 1-bromo-3,3-dimethylpentane (III).
The relative percentage of 1° and 2° hydrogens in 3,3-dimethylpentane is 3.6:96.4.
c) 3-methylpentane
Interpretation:

Answer to Problem 48AP
Four different monochlorination products are possible by the radical bromination of 3-methylpentane. They are bromomethylpentane(I), 3-bromo-3-methylpentane(II), 2-bromo-3-methylpentane(III) and 1-bromo-3-methylpentane(IV).
The relative percentage of 1°, 2° and 3° hydrogens in 3,3-dimethylpentane is 0.46:16.6:82.9.
Explanation of Solution
3,3-Dimethylpentane has four types of hydrogens, one in methyl at C1, another methyl groups attached to CH2, a third in C2 and a fourth in CH2. It has nine 1° hydrogens, four 2° hydrogens and one 3° hydrogen. Hence four monochlorination products are possible.
The relative rate of radical bromonation of 1° hydrogens = 9 x 1 = 9.
The relative rate of radical bromonation of 2° hydrogens = 4 x 82 = 328.
The relative rate of radical bromonation of 3° hydrogens = 1 x 1640 = 1640.
Total rate of radical bromonation of all hydrogens = 9+328+1640 = 1977.
Therefore the relative percentage of
Radical bromonation of 1° hydrogens = 9/1977x100= 0.46%.
Radical bromonation of 2° hydrogens = 328/1977x100= 16.6%.
Radical bromonation of 3° hydrogens = 1640/1937x100= 82.9%.
Four different monochlorination products are possible by the radical bromination of 3-methylpentane. They are bromomethylpentane(I), 3-bromo-3-methylpentane(II), 2-bromo-3-methylpentane(III) and 1-bromo-3-methylpentane(IV).
The relative percentage of 1°, 2° and 3° hydrogens in 3,3-dimethylpentane is 0.46:16.6:82.9.
