    Lowest \[p{{K}_{a}}\] is associated with Monobromination of 2-methylbutane gives how many distinct isomers?

    A)  One

    B)  Two

    C)  Three

    D)  Four

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Structure of 2-methylbutane \[C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,-C{{H}_{2}}-C{{H}_{3}}\] Since there are four different types of hydrogen, thus four types of isomers are obtained. \[\underset{1-bromo-\text{ }2-\text{ }methylbutane}{\mathop{Br-C{{H}_{2}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,-C{{H}_{2}}-C{{H}_{3}}\,\,;}}\,\]           \[\underset{2-bromo-\text{ }2-\text{ }methylbutane}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  Br \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-C{{H}_{2}}-C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\] \[\underset{2-bromo-\text{ }3-\text{ }methylbutane}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  Br \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}\,\,;}}\,\]          \[\underset{1-bromo-\text{ }3-\text{ }methylbutane}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,H-C{{H}_{2}}-C{{H}_{2}}-Br}}\,\]
