Vedclass · Answer

(D) Monochlorination of methylcyclohexane $(C_7H_{14})$ occurs at different positions:$1$. At the methyl group: $1$ isomer (chloromethylcyclohexane).$2$. At the $C_1$ position: $1$ isomer ($1$-chloro$-1-$methylcyclohexane).$3$. At the $C_2$ position: $2$ chiral centers are present,leading to $2^2 = 4$ stereoisomers.$4$. At the $C_3$ position: $2$ chiral centers are present,leading to $2^2 = 4$ stereoisomers.$5$. At the $C_4$ position: $2$ stereoisomers (cis and trans$-1-$chloro$-4-$methylcyclohexane).Total isomers = $1 + 1 + 4 + 4 + 2 = 12$.

Total number of isomers (including stereoisomers) obtained on monochlorination of methylcyclohexane is $........$
