Which of the following isomeric heptanes can yield seven different monochlorinated products upon free radical chlorination?
A.
2, 2-Dimethylpentane
B.
2-Methylhexane
C.
3-Methylhexane
D.
2, 4-Dimethylpentane
Answer :
3-Methylhexane
Solution :
3-Methylhexane can yield seven different monochlorinated products on chlorination.
\[{{H}_{3}}C-C{{H}_{2}}-C{{H}_{2}}\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}
