Alcohols Phenols And Ethers Question 106
Question: Identify Z in the sequence: $ CH_3CH_2CH=CH_2\xrightarrow{HBr/H_2O_2} $ $ Y\xrightarrow{C_2H_5ONa}Z $
Options:
A) $ {{(CH_3)}_2}COHCH_2CH_3 $
B) $ CH_3CH_2CH( CH_3 )-O-CH_2CH_3 $
C) $ CH_3{{( CH_2 )}_3}-O-CH_2CH_3 $
D) $ CH_3{{( CH_2 )}_4}-O-CH_3 $

Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
[c] $ CH_3CH_2CH=CH_2\xrightarrow{HBr/H_2O_2} $
$ CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2Br\xrightarrow{C_2H_5ONa} $
$ CH_3{{(CH_2)}_3}OC_2H_5 $ In presence of $ H_2O_2,HBr $ adds in anti-Markovnikov’s way (peroxide effect).
