Identify Z in the sequence of reactions: $CH_3CH_2CH=CH_2 \xrightarrow{HBr/H_2O_2} Y \xrightarrow{C_2H_5ONa} Z$
A $CH_3-(CH_2)_3-O-CH_2CH_3$
B $(CH_3)_2CH_2-O-CH_2CH_3$
C $CH_3(CH_2)_4-O-CH_3$
D $CH_3CH_2-CH(CH_3)-O-CH_2CH_3$

Detailed Solution

$CH_3CH_2CH=CH_2 \xrightarrow[\text{(peroxide effect)}]{HBr/H_2O_2} CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2Br$ (Y)
$CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2Br \xrightarrow{C_2H_5ONa} CH_3-(CH_2)_3-O-CH_2CH_3$ (Z)
