it was found that when isobutylene reacts with [tex]Cl_{2}[/tex] under [tex]0^{o}C[/tex] in the absence of light it gives more methallyl chloride(3-chloro,2-methyl propene) than the addition product.bubbling oxygen through the reaction mixture doesn't affect the product formation.
thsi reaction is carried with labelled iso-butylene with the C-1 labelled as 14C.now the reaction product was made to go through ozonolysis and it was found that the majority of radioactive carbon was present in chloroacetone(about 97%) and very few in formaldehyde.
a)give the structure of methallyl chloride obtained and mention the position of the radioactive carbon.
b)is the reaction ionic or free radical?
c)outline a mechanism
d)suggest a reason why isobutylene is more prone than 1-2-butene?
e)under similar conditions in the presence of oxygen 3,3-dimethyl-1-butene yeilds more addition product but also a small yield of 4-chloro-2,3-dimethyl-1-butene.how do you fit this fact with the mechanism u proposed and also account for the minor product
