Answer #1

photohalogenation takes place by radical pathway

total number of product will depend on type of radical formed

There are 4 possible products formed

The theoretical yield can be predicted by calculating the relative amounts of each isomer , provided selectivity of chlorination favors 3° > 2° > 1° by 5 : 4 : 1 .
