MCQ
An alkylbromide $(A)$ forms a Grignard reagent which on treatment with water yield $n-$ hexane. When $A$ is treated with sodium in dry ether, $4, 5-$ diethyloctane is formed. The structure of $A$ is
  • A
    $CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_2Br$
  • B
    $\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
    {\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,Br}\\
    {\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,|}\\
    {C{H_3}C{H_2}C{H_2}C{H_2}CHC{H_3}}
    \end{array}$
  • $\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
    {\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,Br\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,}\\
    {\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,|\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,}\\

    \end{array}$
  • D
    $\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
    {Br\,\,Br\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,}\\
    {|\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,|\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,}\\
    {C{H_3}CHCHC{H_2}C{H_2}C{H_3}}
    \end{array}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,Br\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,}\\
{\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,|\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,}\\
{C{H_3}C{H_2}C{H_2}CHC{H_2}C{H_3}}
\end{array}$
c
$\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
  {2C{H_3} - C{H_2} - C{H_2} - CH - Br} \\ 
  | \\ 
  {\,\,\,\,\,C{H_2}} \\ 
  | \\ 
  {\,\,\,\,C{H_3}} 
\end{array} + 2Na\xrightarrow{{dry\,ether}}$ $\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
  {C{H_3} - C{H_3} - C{H_3} - CH - CH - C{H_2} - C{H_2} - C{H_3}} \\ 
  {\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,|\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,|\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,} \\ 
  {\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{C_2}{H_5}\,\,\,\,\,\,{C_2}{H_{5\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,}}} 
\end{array}$
