Choose the correct option.
When acetone is treated with Grignard’s reagent, followed by hydrolysis, the product formed is:
- (1)Secondary alcohol
- (2)Tertiary alcohol
- (3)Primary alcohol
- (4)Aldehyde
Answer
Answer
AICorrect option: (2)
Answer: (2) Tertiary alcohol
A ketone with a Grignard reagent gives an addition product which, on hydrolysis, forms a tertiary alcohol (acetone gives 2-methylpropan-2-ol with $\mathrm{CH_3MgBr}$).
