    A dibromo derivative of an alkane reacts with sodium metal to form an alicyclic hydrocarbon. The derivative is

    A) 1,1-dibromopropane

    B) 2, 2-dibromobutane

    C) 1, 2-dibromoethane

    D) 1, 4-dibromobutane

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\omega \text{-}\]dihalides when reacts with sodium metal, gives cyclic hydrocarbons. This is an example of intra molecular Wurtz reaction. \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  Br \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,{{H}_{2}}-C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  Br \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,{{H}_{2}}\xrightarrow[-2NaBr]{Na}\underset{cyclobutane}{\mathop{}}\,\]
