An unknown alkyl halide (A) reacts with ...

An unknown alkyl halide (A) reacts with alcoholic KOH to produce a hydrocarbon (`C_(4)H_(8)`). Ozonolysis of the hydrocarbon affords 1 mol of propionaldehyde and 1 mol of formaldehyde. Suggest which organic structure of the above alkyl halide (A)?

A

`CH_(3)(CH_(2))_(3)Br`

B

`CH_(3)CH(Br)CH(Br)CH_(3)`

C

`CH_(3)CH_(2)CH(Br)CH_(3)`

D

`Br(CH_(2))_(4)Br`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`underset((A)=1-"Bromobutane")(CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)Br) overset("alc. KOH") underset("Heat") to underset((B)- "1- Butene")(CH_(3)CH_(2)CH =CH_(2)) overset(O_(2)) to CH_(3)CH_(2)CHO + HCHO`
