Solution
The correct option is DCH3−(CH2)3−O−CH2CH3 When HBr is added to unsymmetrical alkenes in the presence of peroxide, 1-bromobutane is formed contrary to 2-bromopropane (according to Markovnikov’s rule). This reaction is better known as Kharash effect or peroxide effect. CH3CH2CH=CH2HBr/H2O2→CH3CH2CH2CH2Br
Williamson's ether synthesis involve an alkoxide that reacts with a primary haloalkane to produce ether. Alkoxides consist of the conjugate base of an alcohol and are comprised of an R group bonded to an oxygen atom. They are often written as RO–, where R is the organic substituent.
It is used for the preparation of symmetrical as well as unsymmetrical ethers. CH3CH2CH2CH2BrC2H5ONa→CH3CH2CH2CH2OC2H5. Thus Z is Ethyl butylether. Hence option (d) is correct.
