Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) 2, 2, 4, 4-tetramethylhexane
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The reaction is a Wurtz coupling reaction involving two different alkyl halides: R1-Br and R2-Br, where R1 is (CH3)2CHCH2- (isobutyl group) and R2 is (CH3)3CCH2- (neopentyl group). In a Wurtz reaction with a mixture of two different alkyl halides, the possible products are the…
