Which of the following compounds will react with Na to form 4,5-diethylocatane?

A

CH3CH2CH2CH2BrCH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2}CH_{2}Br

B

CH3CH2CH2−CH∣CH3−CH2CH2BrCH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2} - \underset{CH_{3}}{\underset{|}{CH}} - CH_{2}CH_{2}Br

C

CH3CH2CH2CH2−CH∣Br−CH3CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2}CH_{2} - \underset{Br}{\underset{|}{CH}} - CH_{3}

D

CH3CH2CH2−CH∣Br−CH2CH3CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2} - \underset{Br}{\underset{|}{CH}} - CH_{2}CH_{3}

Answer

CH3CH2CH2−CH∣Br−CH2CH3CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2} - \underset{Br}{\underset{|}{CH}} - CH_{2}CH_{3}
