vi. An alkyl chloride on Wurtz reaction gives 2,2,5,5-tetramethylhexane. The same alkyl chloride on reduction ith zinc-copper couple in alchol give hydrocarbon with molecular formula C5H12. What is the structure of alkyl chloride
\[\begin{array}{cc}
\ce{CH3}\\
|\phantom{...}\\
\ce{CH3-C-CH2Cl}\\
|\phantom{...}\\
\ce{CH3}
\end{array}\]
\[\begin{array}{cc}
\ce{CH3\phantom{..}}\\
|\phantom{.....}\\
\ce{CH3-C-CH2CH3}\\
|\phantom{.....}\\
\ce{Cl\phantom{....}}
\end{array}\]
\[\begin{array}{cc}
\ce{CH3-CH2-CH-Cl}\\
\phantom{......}|\\
\ce{\phantom{.........}CH3}
\end{array}\]
\[\begin{array}{cc}
\ce{CH3-CH-CH-CHCl}\\
|\phantom{.....}|\phantom{...}\\
\ce{\phantom{..}CH3} \ce{\phantom{..}CH3\phantom{..}}
\end{array}\]
Answer:-
\[\begin{array}{cc}
\ce{CH3}\\
|\phantom{...}\\
