Propanone on reaction with alkyl magnesium bromide followed by hydrolysis will produce?
- A. Primary alcohol
- B. Secondary alcohol
- C. Tertiary alcohol
- D. Carboxylic acid
Step-by-step solution
Propanone (acetone) is a ketone. Grignard reagents (alkyl magnesium bromide) add to the carbonyl carbon, and after hydrolysis, the product is a tertiary alcohol because the carbonyl carbon becomes bonded to two methyl groups (from propanone) and the alkyl group from the Grignard reagent.
