Q. How many isomers does the mixture contain in the dichlorination reaction of propane?

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020

Solution:

There are four isomers obtained, and one is optically active. So, total 5 isomers are obtained.
$CH_{3}-CH_{2}-CH_{3}+Cl_{2} \rightarrow $
$CH_{3}-CH_{2}-CHCl_{2}+2HCl$
(1,1,dichloro propane)

Solution
$CH_{3}-\overset{\overset{Cl}{\left|\right.}}{\underset{\underset{Cl}{\left|\right.}}{C}}-CH_{3}$
