1-Bromopropane is heated with alcoholic to give Y. Y is treated with (no peroxide) to give Z, and Z is then treated with in DMF. The final product is

  1. A1-azidopropane
  2. Bpropene
  3. Cpropan-2-ol
  4. D2-azidopropane

Answer: D

Alcoholic gives Y = propene. adds by Markovnikov's rule to give Z = 2-bromopropane. Azide is a good nucleophile and weak base in a polar aprotic solvent, so SN2 gives , 2-azidopropane.
