    Which of the following is obtained as a major product, when n-butane is treated with \[B{{r}_{2}}\] in the presence of light at \[130{}^\circ C\]?

    A)  \[{{\left( C{{H}_{3}} \right)}_{3}}CBr\]                  

    B)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}Br\]

    C)  \[C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  Br \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,H-C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}\]

    D)  \[C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,H-C{{H}_{2}}Br\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    By reactively-selectively principle \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}\xrightarrow[{{130}^{o}}C]{B{{r}_{2}}}\] \[\underset{\text{(Major)}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  Br \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,H-C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}}}\,+\underset{\text{(Minor)}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}Br}}\,\]
