Assertion (A) tert-butyl bromide undergoes Wurtz reaction to give 2,2,3,3-tetramethylbutane.
Reason (R ) In wurtz reaction, alkyl halides react with sodium in dry ether to give hydrocarbon containing double the number of carbon atoms present in the halide

A

Both `(A)` and `(R)` are true and `(R0` is the correct explanation of `(A)`.

B

Both `(A)` and `(R)` are true but `(R)` is not the correct explanation of `(A)`.

`(A) is true but `(R)` is false.

D

Both `(A)` and `(R)` are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`d`
Correct assertion:
`t-BuBr` on reaction with `Na` metal gives `n-` butane and isobutene.
