Which is major product and why ???
Dear student,
The above reaction is based on a free radical mechanism where the first product is formed from the primary free radical and the second product is formed from the tertiary free radical. Tertiary free radical is more stable than primary free radical and hence the second product (2-chloro-2,3-dimethyl butane) is the major product.
