Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{A}=\mathrm{Br}_2 / \mathrm{CCl}_4 \quad \mathrm{~B}=\) alc. \(\mathrm{KOH} \quad \mathrm{C}=\mathrm{NaNH}_2 \quad \mathrm{D}=\) Red hot Fe tube

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The reaction sequence is as follows: Step [A]: Ethylene (\(C_2H_4\)) reacts with \(Br_2/CCl_4\) to form 1,2-dibromoethane (\(CH_2Br-CH_2Br\)). Step [B]: 1,2-dibromoethane undergoes dehydrohalogenation using alcoholic \(KOH\) to form vinyl bromide (\(CH_2=CH-Br\)). Step [C]:…
