Q. Identify Z in the sequence of reactions : $CH_3CH_2CH=CH_2 \xrightarrow{HBr/H_2O_2} Y \xrightarrow{C_2H_5ONa} Z$
A) $CH_3-(CH_2)_3-O-CH_2CH_3$
B) $(CH_3)_2CH_2-O-CH_2CH_3$
C) $CH_3(CH_2)_4-O-CH_3$
D) $CH_3CH_2-CH(CH_3)-O-CH_2CH_3$
Explanation
[Solution] Peroxide effect gives 1-bromobutane (Y); Williamson synthesis with $C_2H_5ONa$ gives 1-ethoxybutane. Answer (1).
