    The major product formed in the following reaction is: \[C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{H}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{\overset{C{{H}_{3}}}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,}}\,}}\,-C{{H}_{2}}Br\xrightarrow[C{{H}_{3}}OH]{C{{H}_{3}}{{O}^{-}}}\]

    A) \[C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{H}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{\overset{C{{H}_{3}}}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,}}\,}}\,-C{{H}_{2}}OC{{H}_{3}}\]

    B) \[C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{OC{{H}_{3}}}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{CH}}\,}}\,-C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}\]

    C) \[C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{C{{H}_{3}}}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,=C{{H}_{2}}\]

    D) \[C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{OC{{H}_{3}}}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{\overset{C{{H}_{3}}}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,}}\,}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The reaction is an example of nucleophilic substitution reaction. The mechanism is as follows: \[C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{C{{H}_{3}}}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{\underset{H}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,}}\,}}\,-C{{H}_{2}}-Br\xrightarrow{-B{{r}^{-}}}\]                                          \[\underset{{{1}^{o}}\,carbocation}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{H}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{\overset{C{{H}_{3}}}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,}}\,}}\,-\overset{+}{\mathop{C}}\,{{H}_{2}}}}\,\] \[\underset{{{3}^{o}}\,carbocation}{\mathop{\xrightarrow[(hydride\,shift)]{\operatorname{Re}arangement}C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{C{{H}_{3}}}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{{{C}^{+}}}}\,}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}\xrightarrow{C{{H}_{3}}{{O}^{-}}}}}\,\]                                       \[\underset{2-methoxypropane}{\mathop{\xrightarrow{{}}CH_{3}^{1}{{-}^{2}}\overset{C{{H}_{3}}}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{\underset{OC{{H}_{3}}}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,}}\,}}\,{{-}^{3}}C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\]
