What will be the major product, when $$2$$-methyl butane undergoes bromination in presence of light?

A$$1$$-bromo-$$2$$-methyl butane
B$$2$$-bromo-$$2$$-methyl butane
Correct Answer
C$$2$$-bromo-$$3$$-methyl butane
D$$1$$-bromo-$$3$$-methyl butane

Solution

In presence of sun light, free radical mechanism takes place and most stable $$3^0$$ free radical forms in intermediate so 2-bromo-2-methyl butane forms as major product.
