Identify the final product [D] obtained in the following sequence of reactions.
CH3CHOi)LiAlH4ii)H3O+[A]H2SO4,Δ[B]HBr[C]Na/dryether[D]
A
B
C
D
Step-by-Step Solution
CH3CHO reduced by LiAlH4 gives ethanol [A]. 2. Ethanol dehydrated by H2SO4 gives ethene [B]. 3. Ethene reacts with HBr to give bromoethane [C]. 4. Bromoethane reacts with Na/dry ether (Wurtz reaction) to give butane [D].
