Alkane Halogenation
The following hydrocarbons may be chlorinated or brominated by
photochemical reaction with the appropriate halogen (chlorine or bromine).
Select one of the reactants by clicking the button underneath its formula,
and then deduce the number of monochlorinated, dichlorinated and
monobromo-monochloro constitutional isomers that could be produced
on reaction with one to three equivalents of halogen. You should draw
possible structural formulas on a piece of paper before entering your
answers.
Do not count stereoisomers.
