A) 2-butene
B) 1, 3-butadiene
C) n-butane
D) n-butyl chloride
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Alkyl halide reacts with\[Li\]and\[CuI\]in the presence of ether to give lithium dialkyl cuprate which further reacts with alkyl halide to give alkane. This reaction is called Corey-House reaction. \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}Cl+2Li\xrightarrow[{}]{Ether}{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}Li+LiBr\] \[2{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}Li+CuI\xrightarrow[-Lil]{{}}\underset{lithium\text{ }dialkyl\text{ }cuprate}{\mathop{Li{{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{2}}Cu}}\,\] \[Li{{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{2}}Cu+{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}Cl\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}\] \[\underset{n-butane}{\mathop{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}-{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}}}\,+{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}Cu+LiCl\]
