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

  1. AThe alkane is 2,5-dimethylhexane and The tertiary bromide is 2-Bromo-2,3-dimethylhexane
  2. BThe alkane is 2,5-dimethylhexane and The tertiary bromide is 2-Bromo-2,5-dimethylhexane
  3. CThe alkane is 1,5-dimethylhexane and The tertiary bromide is 2-Bromo-2,5-dimethylhexane
  4. 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
