An organic compound A() on reaction with Na/diethyl ether gives a hydrocarbon which on monochlorination gives only one chloro derivative then, A is
Multiple Choice Options
- A t-butyl chloride
- B s-butyl chloride
- C iso-butyl chloride
- D n-butyl chloride
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
2C 4 H 9 Cl+2Na _ E t h a n o l C 4 H 9 - C 4 H 9 + 2NaCl
In C 4 H 9 - C 4 H 9 i.e., (H 3 C) 3 C�C(CH 3 ) 3 there are primary hydrogens only.
Thus, only one chloro derivative is possible.
