In radical chlorination of alkanes, non-equivalent hydrogens react with chlorine atoms at different rates. At 35 Degree C, primary secondary, and tertiary c-H bonds react at relative rates of 1 : 3.9 : 5.2 respectively. These are conditions of kinetic control where product ratios are determined by relative rates of formation. For example, if A is formed twice as fast as B, the A:B product ratio will be 2. consider chlorination of the alkane below at 35 Degree c. a.) Specify the most reactive -H bond(s), a-c. Two non-equivalent c-H bonds of comparable reactivity should be separated by commas, i. e. a, c.
b.)Specify the site of chlorination in the major monochloro substitution product, a-c. Two products that form in comparable quantities should be separated by commas, i. e. a, c
