Identify the product [ C ] formed at the end of the reaction below 1,1,2,2- Tetrabromopropane + 2 Zn _ ( S ) / Ethanol [B] [ B ] + 2 moles of HBr [ C ]

Step-by-step solution

1,1,2,2-Tetrabromopropane + 2Zn / Ethanol [B] CH₃ - CBr₂ - CHBr₂ + 2Zn CH₃ - C CH + 2ZnBr₂ [B] is propyne. [B] + 2HBr [C] (Markovnikov addition) CH₃ - C CH + 2HBr CH₃ - CBr₂ - CH₃ [C] is 2, 2-Dibromopropane.
