question

The following projected synthesis for n-butane is not very efficient. Why? CH_3CH_2CH_2Br + CH_3Br + 2 Na \rightarrow CH_3(CH_2)_2CH_3 + 2 NaBr

category

chemistry

options

  1. Formation of only hexane
  2. Decrease in the production of n-butane due to formation of ethane and hexane
  3. Incomplete reaction due to insufficient sodium
  4. Formation of butadiene as a major product
  5. Formation of only ethane
  6. Side reactions leading to the production of bromoethane and tribromomethane
  7. Formation of n-butane only with 100% efficiency
  8. Formation of n-butane inhibited by the presence of a catalyst
  9. Increase in the production of n-butane
  10. Reaction does not proceed due to the inertness of reactants
