Solution
The correct option is BCH3CH(OCH2CH3)−CH2CH3 The sequence of the reactions is as shown. CH2=CH−CH2CH3HBr/H2O−−−−−−→CH3CH(Br)−CH2CH3AC2H5ONa−−−−−−→CH3CH(OCH2CH3)−CH2CH3B In the first step, a molecule of HBr is added to C=C double bond. Bromine atom is added to more substituted C atom and H atom is added to less substituted C atom. Second step is williamson synthesis in which sodium alkoxide reacts with alkyl halide to form an ether.
