Identify ' $\mathrm{A}$ ' in the following reaction. $\stackrel{\mathrm{Na} \text { /dyether }}{\longrightarrow}$ 3,4-diethyl-3,4-dimethylhexane $+2 \mathrm{NaCl}$
  1. 3-Chloro-3methylpentane
  2. 3-Chloro-2methylpentane
  3. 2-Chloro-3methylpentane
  4. 2-Chloro-2methylpentane

Solution

A $\stackrel{\mathrm{Na} \text { /ether }}{\longrightarrow}$ 3,4-diethyl-3,4-dimethylhexane $+2 \mathrm{NaCl}$ It is warts product, formed by compiling so, It is wurtz product, which is obtained by coupling reaction thus corresponding halide $\mathrm{A}$ is
