Question: In the following reaction ‘A’ is $ \begin{align} & C_2H_5MgBr+H_2C-CH_2\xrightarrow{H_2O}A \\ & \overset{\backslash /}{\mathop{O}} \\ \end{align} $
[MP PET 1994; CBSE PMT 1998]
Options:
A) $ C_2H_5CH_2CHO $
B) $ C_2H_5CH_2CH_2OH $
C) $ C_2H_5CH_2OH $
D) $ C_2H_5CHO $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
$ C_2H_5MgBr+\underset{\overset{}{\mathop{\overset{\backslash /}{\mathop{O}}}}}{\mathop{H_2C-CH_2}}\xrightarrow{H_2O} $
$ \underset{n\text{-butyl}alcohol}{\mathop{\underset{(A)}{\mathop{C_2H_5CH_2CH_2OH}}}}+MgBr(OH) $
