JEE Main Chemistry question
How many different isomeric di-bromo-alkanes undergo cyclisation via the Wurtz reaction, on refluxing with , to give the same product, 1,4-dimethylcyclohexane?
Answer: 7
Solution
1,4-Dimethylcyclohexane can arise from intramolecular Wurtz coupling of several different constitutionally distinct - (or suitably positioned) dibromoalkanes, each of whose two carbon termini (bearing the bromines) become bonded to
