An organic compound of molecular formula...

An organic compound of molecular formula `C_4H_10O` does not react with sodium. With excess of HI, it gives only one type of alkyl halide. The compound is

A

Ethoxyethane

B

2-methoxypropane

C

1-methoxypropane

D

1-butanol

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Since a single alkyl halide is formed on treatment with HI, it must be a symmetrical ether i.e., ethoxyethane.
`C_(2)H_(5)OC_(2)H_(5)+ 2HI to 2C_(2)H_(5)I+ H_(2)O`
