Halogenation of Alkanes
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.
