Q. Potassium phthalimide reacts with $A$ which on hydrolysis gives isopentyl-amine, what is $A$ ?

$C H_{3} - C H ∣ C H_{3} - C H_{2} C H_{2} B r$

$C H_{3} - C H ∣ C H_{2} B r - C H_{2} C H_{2} B r$

$C H_{3} - C H ∣ C H_{3} - B r ∣ C H - C H_{3}$

$C H_{3} - B ∣ r C ∣ C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H_{3}$

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