Chapter 18, Problem 53SP

(choose chapter or problem)

Hexamethylbenzene undergoes free-radical chlorination to give one monochlorinated product \(\left(\mathrm{C}_{12} \mathrm{H}_{17} \mathrm{Cl}\right)\) and four dichlorinated products \(\left(\mathrm{C}_{12} \mathrm{H}_{16} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right)\). These products are easily separated by GC-MS, but the dichlorinated products are difficult to distinguish by their mass spectra. Draw the monochlorinated product and the four dichlorinated products, and explain how \({ }^{13} \mathrm{C} \text { NMR }\) would easily distinguish among these compounds.
