Question

The reaction of propane with bromine in presence of UV light predominantly forms____.

Options

• 1-Bromopropane

• 2-Bromopropane

• 1,2-dibromopropane

• 1,3-dibromopropane

Answer 1

The reaction of propane with bromine in presence of UV light predominantly forms 2-Bromopropane.

Explanation:

\[\begin{array}{cc}\phantom{.........................................}\ce{Br}\\\phantom{........................................}|\\
\phantom{}\ce{\underset{(Propane)}{CH3CH2CH3 + Br} ->[UV light] \underset{2-Bromopropane (97percent)}{CH3 - CH - CH3}}\\
\end{array}\]
