Hello,
On monochlorination of 2 - methylbutane, total four isomers are produced:
1. 2-chloro-2-methylbutane 2. 2-chloro-3-methylbutane 3. 1-chloro-2-methylbutane 4. 2-chloro-3-methylbutane
Out of the above produced isomers, 1 - chloro-2-methylbutane and 2-chloro-3-methylbutane are the chiral compounds and rest are the achiral compounds.
So, total 2 chiral compounds are produced.
Best Wishes.
