Explanation:
This conversion must go through a sequence of steps as i have shown in the image attached to this answer.
The acetone is converted to propan-2-ol using LiAlH4, THF and acid. The propan-2-ol may be converted to propene by E2 elimination. Addition of HBr yields 2-bromo propane.
The Wurtz reaction converts 2-bromo propane to 2,3- dimethyl butane. This can be brominated in the presence of light to yield 3-bromo-2,3-dimethyl butane. Elimination of HBr using a base leads to the formation of the required product as shown.
