    There are 4 monochloro isomers possible

    Explanation:

    The monochlorination of 2-methyl butane has 4 monochloro isomers, with different grade of abundance.

    33 % 2-chloro-3-methylbutane

    30 % 1-chloro-2-methylbutane

    22 % 2-chloro-2-methylbutane

    15 % 1-chloro-3-methylbutane.

    33 % 2-chloro-3-methylbutane is the most stable; 15 % 1-chloro-3-methylbutane is the less stable.

    Of those 4 monochloro isomers, there are two chiral compounds possible

    ⇒ 2-chloro-2-methylbutane

    ⇒ 2-chloro-3-methylbutane.
