Vedclass · Answer

(A) The optically active alkyl bromide $C_4H_9Br$ is $2$-bromobutane.Reaction of $2$-bromobutane with ethanolic $KOH$ (dehydrohalogenation) gives but-$2$-ene as the major product $[A]$.Reaction of but-$2$-ene $[A]$ with $Br_2$ yields $2,3$-dibromobutane $[B]$.Reaction of $2,3$-dibromobutane $[B]$ with alcoholic $KOH$ followed by $NaNH_2$ (dehydrohalogenation) yields but-$2$-yne $[C]$.Hydration of but-$2$-yne $[C]$ in the presence of $HgSO_4/H_2SO_4$ (Kucherov's reaction) yields butanone $(CH_3COCH_2CH_3)$, which is a methyl ketone.Methyl ketones are confirmed by the Haloform test (specifically the Iodoform test).
