Primary alcohols can be obtained from the reaction of R Mg X with
A) \[C{{O}_{2}}\]
B) \[HCHO\]
C) \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO\]
D) \[{{H}_{2}}O\]
Correct Answer:
B
Solution :
The above reaction with acetaldehyde gives \[\,2{}^\circ \] alcohol reaction with \[C{{O}_{2}}\] gives - acid. reaction with \[{{H}_{2}}O\] gives- alkane.
