The major products P and Q of the following reactions respectively are I. n -pentyl bromide Zn / H ⁺ P II. n -pentyl bromide [ Dry ether ] Na Q
Options
- Apentane; decane
- Bpent-1-en; decane
- Cpentane ; pentane
- Dpentane : 1-decene
Correct answer
A. pentane; decane
Step-by-step solution
When n -pentyl bromide reacts with Zn , Br atom is substituted by H -atom to form pentane. But when n -pentyl bromide reacts with Na and dry ether, it undergoes Wurtz reaction and decane is formed.
