Question

An alkyl halide with molecular formula C₆H₁₃Br on dehydro halogenation gave two isomeric alkenes X and Y with molecular formula C₆H₁₂. On reductive Ozonolysis, X and Y gave four compounds CH₃COCH₃,CH₃CHO,CH₃CH₂CHO and (CH₃)₂ CHCHO. The alkyl halide is

• A. 2 - Bromo hexane
• B. 2, 2 - Dimethyl - 1 - bromobutane
• C. 2 - Bromo - 2, 3 - dimethyl butane
• D. 3 - Bromo - 2 - methyl pentane

Answer 1

The correct option is D

3 - Bromo - 2 - methyl pentane
