Question

An organic compound A(C4 H9 C1) on reaction with Na/diethyl ether gives a hydrocarbon which on monochlorination gives only one chloro derivative, then A is (A) t-butyl chloride (B) s-butyl chloride (C) iso-butyl chloride (D) n-butyl chloride

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Alkyl halides reacts with Na in presence of dry ether to form alkanes. This reaction is known as Wurtz reaction .In the given question C4 H9 C1 is the t-butyl chloride A. It reacts with Na in dry ether to form a hydrocarbon that on chlorination gives only one monochloro derivative. 2,2, 3, 3-tetra mehnyl-butane (It gives only Qne type of monochloro derivative.)
