A dibromo derivative of an alkane reacts with sodium metal to form an alicyclic hydrocarbon. The derivative is
- A 1, 1-dibromopropane
- B 2, 2-dibromobutane
- C 1, 2-dibromoethane
- D 1 , 4-dibromobutane
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) 1 , 4-dibromobutane
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\omega\)-dihalides when reacts with sodium metal, gives cyclic hydrocarbons. This is an example of intramolecular Wurtz reaction.
