Cycloalkane formed when 1,4-dibromopentaneis heated with sodium is

  • methyl cyclobutane

  • cyclopentane

  • cyclobutane

  • methyl cyclopentane


A.

methyl cyclobutane

When α,ω-dihalogen derivatives of the alkanes (say 1,4-dbromopentane) are treated with sodium or zinc, the corresponding cycloalkane is formed. The reaction undergoes free radical mechanism.

         

On the other hand α,ω-dihalogen derivatives of the alkanesn which the two halogen atoms are further apart than the 1,6-positions, do not form ring compounds but undergo the Wurtz reaction.

  • chlorination followed by Wurtz reaction

  • chlorination followed by decarboxylation
