An alkane C 8 H 18 is obtained as the only product on subjecting a primary alkyl halide to Wurtz reaction. On monobromination this alkane yields a single isomer of a tertiary bromide. Write the structure of alkane and the tertiary bromide.
Options
- AThe alkane is 2,5-dimethylhexane and The tertiary bromide is 2-Bromo-2,3-dimethylhexane
- BThe alkane is 2,5-dimethylhexane and The tertiary bromide is 2-Bromo-2,5-dimethylhexane
- CThe alkane is 1,5-dimethylhexane and The tertiary bromide is 2-Bromo-2,5-dimethylhexane
- DThe alkane is 1,5-dimethylhexane and The tertiary bromide is 2-Bromo-2,3-dimethylhexane
Correct answer
B. The alkane is 2,5-dimethylhexane and The tertiary bromide is 2-Bromo-2,5-dimethylhexane
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (B) The alkane is 2,5-dimethylhexane and The tertiary bromide is 2-Bromo-2,5-dimethylhexane
