An alkyl bromide produces a single alkene when it reacts with sodium ethoxide and ethanol. This alkene on hydrogenation produces 2-methyl butane. What is the identity of the alkyl halide?

A

1-Bromo-2,2-dimethylpropane

B

1-Bromobutane

C

1-Bromo-2-methylbutane

D

2-Bromopentane

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`underset("1-bromo-2-ethylbutane")(CH_(3)CH_(2)- overset(CH_(3))overset(|)CH-CH_(2)Br) overset(C_(2)H_(5)//C_(2)H_(5)OH) to CH_(3)CH_(2) - overset(CH_(3))overset(|)C = CH_(2) overset(H_(2)//"Catalyst") to underset("2-Methylbutane")(CH_(3)CH_(2) - overset(CH_(3))overset(|)CH-CH_(3))`
