Vedclass · Answer

(A) The reaction of an alkyl halide with $Na$ in dry ether is the $Wurtz$ reaction,which produces a symmetric alkane. $A$ is $t$-butyl chloride,$(CH_3)_3C-Cl$. Reaction: $2 (CH_3)_3C-Cl + 2 Na \xrightarrow{	ext{ether}} (CH_3)_3C-C(CH_3)_3 + 2 NaCl$. The product is $2,2,3,3$-tetramethylbutane. In $2,2,3,3$-tetramethylbutane,all $18$ hydrogen atoms are equivalent because they are all primary hydrogens attached to methyl groups bonded to quaternary carbons. Thus,monochlorination of this hydrocarbon yields only one chloro derivative.

Reaction	Product
$I$. $RX + AgCN$	$RNC$
$II$. $RX + KCN$	$RCN$
$III$. $RX + KNO_2$	$RONO$
$IV$. $RX + AgNO_2$	$RNO_2$

An organic compound $A$ $(C_4H_9Cl)$ on reaction with $Na$ in diethyl ether gives a hydrocarbon,which on monochlorination gives only one chloro derivative. $A$ is:
