Correct Answer: 6
Solution and Explanation
In the monochlorination of 2-methylbutane, chlorine can replace a hydrogen atom at different positions, leading to the formation of structural and stereoisomeric products. The possible isomeric products are:
\[ \text{CH}_3 - \text{CH}(\text{Cl}) - \text{CH}_2 - \text{CH}(\text{CH}_3) - \text{CH}_3 \, (\pm) \] \[ \text{CH}_3 - \text{CH}(\text{CH}_3) - \text{CH}_2 - \text{CH}(\text{Cl}) - \text{CH}_3 \] \[ \text{CH}_3 - \text{C}(\text{Cl})(\text{CH}_3) - \text{CH}_2 - \text{CH}_3 \, (\pm) \]Therefore, there are 6 isomeric products.
