Correct answer: D
-
In such haloalkane transformation questions, the two most common possibilities for reagent are:
- dilute aqueous at low temperature nucleophilic substitution, forming an alcohol.
- concentrated alcoholic at higher temperature -elimination, forming an alkene.
-
For reagent :
- /acetic acid adds across a double bond to give a bromoalkane.
- also adds across a double bond, but gives a dibromo product.
-
Since the options are arranged in pairs, the intended transformation is clearly of the type: This means:
- First step must be elimination use conc. alcoholic , .
- Second step must convert the alkene back to a monobromo alkane, which is done by /acetic acid, not by .
-
Therefore:
-
Checking options:
- A: substitution first, then addition — not consistent.
- B: elimination first, but would form dibromide — incorrect.
- C: substitution first and then — incorrect.
- D: elimination first, then addition — correct.
Hence, the correct option is D.
