Answer:
An alkyl halide (A) on reaction with magnesium in dry ether followed by treatment with ethanol gave 2-methylbutane. ... The reaction involves formation of Grignard reagent which on reaction with alcohol gives back the alkane. The carbon skeleton structure will be alkyl halide and final alkane will be the same.
