A Certain Free Radical Chlorination Reaction of 2,3-Dimethylbutane Leads to the Production

Multiple Choice

A certain free radical chlorination reaction of 2,3-dimethylbutane leads to the production of two major monochlorinated products 1-chloro-2,3-dimethylbutane and 2-chloro-2,3-dimethylbutane. When run through a Gas chromatograph, it was determined that the product distribution was 51.7% 1-chloro-2,3-dimethylbutane and 48.3% 2-chloro-2,3-dimethylbutane. If we assign the primary H's a reactivity of 1.0, what is the relative reactivity of the tertiary H's?

A) 5.0 times more reactive
B) 5.1 times more reactive
C) 4.6 times more reactive
D) 5.6 times more reactive
E) 3.0 times more reactive
