Concept:
The reaction follows McMurry Mechanism
McMurry Reaction:
- It's the reaction in which reductive dimerization of carbonyl compounds gives alkenes in the presence of TiCl3 and a reducing agent like Zn/Cu or LiAlH4.
- The reaction is inactive in finely divided Ti but works in a faster rate in TiCl3 + AlCl3 as it gives an electron rich Ti (0) particle.
- The reaction proceeds in two steps, radical coupling followed by deoxygenation on the surface of Ti(0).
Example:
Explanation:
The mechanism of the reaction involves radical bond cleavage followed by hydrolysis gives cyclic ketone.
Conclusion:
Therefore option (2) is the correct one.
