    An alkyl bromide produces a single alkene when it reacts with sodium ethoxide and ethanol. This alkene undergoes hydrogenation and produces 2-methyl butane. What is the identity of the alkyl bromide [Kerala PMT 2004]

    A) 1-bromo-2, 2-dimethylpropane

    B) 1-bromobutane

    C) 1-bromo-2-methylbutane

    D) 2-bromo-2-methylbutane

    E) 2-bromopentane

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               \[\underset{\text{1, bromo, 2 methyl butane}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{2}}-\overset{C{{H}_{3}}\,}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,H-}}\,C{{H}_{2}}Br}}\,+{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}ONa\xrightarrow{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH}\]                    \[C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{2}}-\overset{C{{H}_{3}}\ \ \ \ \ \,}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,=C{{H}_{2}}}}\,+NaBr+{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH\underset{\text{(Hydrogenation)}}{\mathop{\xrightarrow{+{{H}_{2}}}}}\,\]   \[\underset{\text{2 methyl butane}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{2}}-\overset{C{{H}_{3}}\,}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,H-}}\,C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\]
