An alkane is obtained as the only product on subjecting a primary alkyl halide to Wurtz reaction. On monobromination this alkane yields a single isomer of a tertiary bromide. Write the structure of alkane and the tertiary bromide.

1.	An alkane is obtained as the only product on subjecting a primary alkyl halide to Wurtz reaction. On monobromination this alkane yields a single isomer of a tertiary bromide. Write the structure of alkane and the tertiary bromide.
Answer» ane should contain TERTIARY hydrogen so that the alkane yields a SINGLE isomer of tertiary bromide on monobromination. This can be possible only if we TAKE the primary alkyl halide has a tertiary hydrogen in the beginning of the WURTZ reaction.
