  • question_answer
    When ethanal reacts with \[C{{H}_{3}}MgBr\] and \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH\]/dry HCl the product formed are        [DCE 2003]

    A)                 Ethyl alcohol and 2-propanol

    B)                 Ethane and hemi-acetal

    C)                 2-propanol and acetal

    D)                 Propane and methyl acetate

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               Ethanal with \[C{{H}_{3}}MgBr\] gives propanol-2 (after hydrolysis) and with \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH\], it gives acetal.            \[\underset{\text{Acetaldehyde}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}CHO}}\,+C{{H}_{3}}MgBr\to C{{H}_{3}}CH<\begin{matrix}    OMgBr  \\    C{{H}_{3}}\ \ \ \,  \\ \end{matrix}\xrightarrow{{{H}^{+}}}\]\[\underset{\text{2 propanol}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}CH<\begin{matrix}    OH\   \\    C{{H}_{3}}  \\ \end{matrix}}}\,\]                 \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO+2{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH\xrightarrow{\text{dry }HCl}\underset{\text{Acetal}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}CH<\begin{matrix}    O{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}  \\    O{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}  \\ \end{matrix}}}\,\]
