Question

An alkyl bromide (X) reacts with Sodium in ether to form 4, 5-diethyl octane, the compound 'X' is (A) CH3(CH2)3Br (B) CH3(CH2)5Br (C) CH3(CH2)3CH(Br)CH3 (D) CH3-(CH2)2-CH(Br)-CH2-CH3

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Correct answer is (d) CH3-(CH2)2-CH(Br)-CH2-CH3

Q. An alkyl bromide (X) reacts with Sodium in ether to form 4, 5-diethyl octane, the compound 'X' is

$C H_{3} (C H_{2})_{3} B r$

$C H_{3} (C H_{2})_{5} B r$

$C H_{3} (C H_{2})_{3} C H (B r) C H_{3}$

$C H_{3} - (C H_{2})_{2} - C H (B r) - C H_{2} - C H_{3}$

Correct answer is (d) $C H_{3} - (C H_{2})_{2} - C H (B r) - C H_{2} - C H_{3}$

Q. An alkyl bromide (X) reacts with Sodium in ether to form 4, 5-diethyl octane, the compound 'X' is

CH3​(CH2​)3​Br

CH3​(CH2​)5​Br

CH3​(CH2​)3​CH(Br)CH3​

CH3​−(CH2​)2​−CH(Br)−CH2​−CH3​

Correct answer is (d) CH3​−(CH2​)2​−CH(Br)−CH2​−CH3​

$C H_{3} (C H_{2})_{3} B r$

$C H_{3} (C H_{2})_{5} B r$

$C H_{3} (C H_{2})_{3} C H (B r) C H_{3}$

$C H_{3} - (C H_{2})_{2} - C H (B r) - C H_{2} - C H_{3}$

Correct answer is (d) $C H_{3} - (C H_{2})_{2} - C H (B r) - C H_{2} - C H_{3}$
