A) a perimary alcohol
B) a secondary alcohol
C) a tertiary alcohol
D) \[C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} || \\ O \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}\]
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Acetaldehyde gives isopropyi alcohol on hydrolysis with Grignard's reagent. Isopropyi alcohol is a secondary alcohol. \[\underset{acetaldehyde}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix} O \\ || \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-H}}\,+C{{H}_{3}}MgBr\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} | \\ C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix} OMgBr \\ | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}}\,-H\]You need to login to perform this action.
