There are two ways for the preparation of 2, 2– dimethyl butane

Question 1

Which of the following statements is correct?

(A) Both Path I and Path II are feasible

(B) Path I is feasible

(C) Path II is feasible

(D) Both Path I and Path II are not feasible

Question 2

Correct option (B) Path I is feasible

Explanation:

In the second step of Path I, alkyl halide (C2 H5 Br) is 1°, Corey- House synthesis proceeds via SN2 mehanism.

In the second step of path II, alkyl halide

is 3°, So, the reaction will not take place.
