Identify the most suitable reagents (I) and (II) for the following sequence of reactions

  1. A \((\mathrm{I})=\) conc. \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4,(\mathrm{II})=\mathrm{HBr}\)
  2. B \((\mathrm{I})=\) aq. \(\mathrm{KOH},(\mathrm{II})=\mathrm{HBr} /\) peroxide
  3. C \((\mathrm{I})=\) alc. \(\mathrm{KOH},(\mathrm{II})=\mathrm{HBr} /\) peroxide
  4. D \((\mathrm{I})=\) alc. \(\mathrm{KOH},(\mathrm{II})=\mathrm{HBr}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \((\mathrm{I})=\) alc. \(\mathrm{KOH},(\mathrm{II})=\mathrm{HBr}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When 1-bromopropane react with alcoholic \(\mathrm{KOH}\), it will form prop-1-ene \((X)\). Alcoholic \(\mathrm{KOH}\) is used to give elimination reaction. In next step, \(\mathrm{HBr}\) (II) is used to give Markownikoff's addition to the alkene and produces 2-bromopropane.
