In the following reaction, the final product can be prepared by two paths ( I ) and ( I I ) . Which of the following statements is correct?
Options
- APath (I) is feasible
- BPath (II) is feasible
- CBoth paths are feasible
- DNeither of the two paths is feasible
Correct answer
A. Path (I) is feasible
Step-by-step solution
Since the reactant is a 3 o alkyl halide, so in the presence of N a C N , it will follow E2 path rather than S N 2, so path I I is not feasible. The possible product by path I I is
