    A) 2-bromo-2-methylbutane

    B)                        1-bromo-2-methylbutane

    C)                        1-bromo-3-methylbutane

    D)                        2-bromo-3-methylbutane

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     \[C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  H \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  C{{H}_{3}} \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}}\,-C{{H}_{2}}-C{{H}_{3}}\xrightarrow[B{{r}_{2}}]{h\upsilon }\] \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  2-bromo-2-methyl\,bu\tan e \\  (major\,product) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  Br \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  C{{H}_{3}} \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}}\,-C{{H}_{2}}-C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\] The reactivity of different types of hydrogen follows the order : benzylic \[\approx \]allylic > tertiary > secondary > primary > vinylic \[\approx \] aryl.
