Vedclass · Answer

(B) Vapour phase nitration of alkanes at high temperature $(400-500^\circ C)$ involves free radical substitution and $C-C$ bond cleavage.When propane reacts with $HNO_3$ vapour,it produces a mixture of nitroalkanes:$1.$ $2$-nitropropane $(40\%)$$2.$ $1$-nitropropane $(25\%)$$3.$ Nitromethane $(25\%)$$4.$ Nitroethane $(10\%)$The major product is $2$-nitropropane $(CH_3-CH(NO_2)-CH_3)$ because the secondary hydrogen is more reactive than the primary hydrogen.

What will be the major product when propane is reacted with $HNO_3$ vapour at high temperature?
