Abstract:The objective of this pen-and-paper study is to monitor the growth of structural complexity as a function of the number of heavy atoms. This is done here using simple chloroalkanes, the indices of structural complexity being the number of regioisomers and mainly stereoisomeric features. Following a previous work dealing with acyclic alkanes, the present study focuses on all acyclic monochloroalkanes from four heavy atoms (four regioisomers) to 10 heavy atoms (2 to 211 regioisomers, respectively). Similarly, al… Show more
