Compound ' A ' undergoes following sequence of reactions to give compound ' B '. The correct structure and chirality of compound ' B ' is [where Et is - C 2 H 5 ] Compound ' A '
Correct answer
2
Step-by-step solution
In the first step the given alkyl halide that is 2-bromo-3-methyl butane reacts with Mg in presence of dry ether to form a grignard reagent,This grignard reagent reacts with D 2 O to form a hydrocarbon (B)which has a chiral carbon. In the reaction with D 2 O grignard reagent behaves as a strong base.
