How many monochlorination products,including stereoisomers,are formed from (S,S)-1,2-dimethylcyclopropane?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When (S,S)-1,2-dimethylcyclopropane is monochlorinated, four possible positions are available for the chlorine atom to substitute a hydrogen atom. This substitution can occur at one of the two primary carbons or one of the two secondary carbons. Each monochlorination of these positions will result in at least one stereoisomer. Therefore, a total of six monochlorination products, including stereoisomers, are formed from (S,S)-1,2-dimethylcyclopropane.
