7. They may also be called ethyl, n-propyl, iso-butyl, neo-pentyl groups if the center carbon is also counted.
8. 3Cl, into this series. However, this is less appropriate because the difference between the parent reaction and methyl substituted one is an α-methyl group while the difference between the rest of the series is a β-methyl group.

64. There are several exceptions to the general trends we have discussed; most involve isopropyl. The isopropyl transition state is asymmetric, with the two methyl groups pointing to one chloride, which is pushed away further than the other chloride. It may not be a good intermediate between methyl and tert-butyl.
