Identify the final product obtained in the following sequence of reactions.



To solve this problem, we will analyze each step of the reaction sequence.Step 1: Reduction of Acetaldehyde⢠The reaction starts with acetaldehyde ⢠It is reduced by to form ethanol ⢠This is a standard reduction of an aldehyde to a primary alcohol.Step 2: Dehydration of Ethanol⢠Ethanol is then dehydrated using at high temperature.⢠This forms ethene through elimination of water.Step 3: Addition of HBr to Ethene⢠Ethene reacts with HBr to form bromoethane ⢠This is an electrophilic addition reaction.Step 4: Wurtz Reaction⢠Bromoethane reacts with bromobenzene in the presence of ⢠This is a Wurtz reaction, leading to the formation of ethylbenzene.The final product is ethylbenzene, which corresponds to Option 1.Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.
