STANDARD Chemistry Reaction Mechanisms MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium
Identify X, Y and Z in the following sequence of reactions CH₃CHBrCH₃ → X → Y → Z
A
X - CH₃CH = CH₂, Y - CH₃CH₂CH₂Br, Z - CH₃CH₂CH₂OCH₃
B
X - CH₃CH = CH₂, Y - CH₃CH₂CH₂Br, Z - CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃
C
X - CH₃CH = CH₂, Y - CH₃CH(Br)CH₃, Z - CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃
D
X - CH₃CH = CH₂, Y - CH₃CH₂CH₂Br, Z - CH₃CH₂CH₂OCH₃
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The reaction sequence involves dehydrohalogenation to form an alkene, followed by addition of HBr in the presence of peroxide to form an alkyl bromide, and finally Williamson's synthesis to form an ether.
