What are \(Y\) and \(Z\) in the following reaction sequence?

What are \(Y\) and \(Z\) in the following reaction sequence?

1. \(\mathrm{Y} - \mathrm{NaOH} / \mathrm{CaO}; \mathrm{Z} - \mathrm{CH}_3\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_2 \mathrm{CH}_3\)
2. \(\mathrm{Y} - \mathrm{NaOH} / \text { electrolysis }; \mathrm{Z} - \mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{CH}_3\)
3. \(\mathrm{Y} - \mathrm{NaOH} / \mathrm{CaO}; \mathrm{Z} - \mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{CH}_3\)
4. \(\mathrm{Y} - \mathrm{NaOH} \text { /electrolysis }; \mathrm{Z} - \mathrm{CH}_3\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_2 \mathrm{CH}_3\)

Solution

Thus, option (4) is correct.
