KCET2010ChemistryHaloalkanes and Haloarenes
A dibromo derivative of an alkane reacts with sodium metal to form an alicyclic hydrocarbon. The derivative is
Options
- A1, 1-dibromopropane
- B2, 2-dibromobutane
- C1, 2-dibromoethane
- D1 , 4-dibromobutane
Correct answer
D. 1 , 4-dibromobutane
Step-by-step solution
-dihalides when reacts with sodium metal, gives cyclic hydrocarbons. This is an example of intramolecular Wurtz reaction.
