Question

An alkane C8H18 is obtained as the only product on subjecting a primary alkyl halide to Wurtz Reaction.On monobromination,this alkane yields a single isomer of tertiary bromide.Give IUPAC name of alkane.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Since the alkane upon monobromination forms a single isomeric tertiary alkyl bromide, the alkane is a symmetrical secondary alkane and the correponding primary alkyl halids which give this alkane by Wurtz reaction , is a branched chain derivation with four carbon atom. The reactions involved are given as follows:
