Compound (b) is reacted with HBr to give (c) which is an isomer of (a). When (a) is reacted with sodium metal it gives compound (d), C8H18 which is different from the compound formed when n-butyl bromide is reacted with sodium. Give the structural formula of (a) and write the equations for all the reactions. When (a) reacts with Na metal it gives (d) of MF C8H18 . 2,5 dimethyl hexane is different from the compound (octane )formed when n-butyl bromide is reacted with sodium.Therefore as per the question given (a) must be isobutyl bromide. When Compound (a) isobutyl bromide reacts with alcohol 3-methyl-1-propene is formed , which is compound (b) The compound (b) gives compound (c) on reacting with HBr which is a isomer of (a). ©TutorBreeze.com Please do not copy the answer given here Write to us for help in understanding the solution NCERT/CBSE CHEMISTRY CLASS 12 textbook http://www.TutorBreeze.com Contact for Online Tutoring in Physics, Math, Chemistry, English Thus the compounds a, b, c and d are Isobutyl bromide , 2-methyl-1-propene, ter butyl bromide and 2,5 dimethyl hexane respectively. ©TutorBreeze.com Please do not copy the answer given here Write to us for help in understanding the solution
