A) a primary alcohol
B) a secondary alcohol
C) a tertiary alcohol
D) a phenol
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
The reaction of\[HCHO\]with Grignard reagent followed by hydrolysis yields a primary alcohol, i.e., ethanol. \[H-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix} H \\ | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,=O+C{{H}_{3}}MgBr\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}H-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} | \\ C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix} H \\ | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}}\,-OMgBr\]You need to login to perform this action.
