NEETChemistryAlcohols Phenols and Ethers
How is the conversion of Ethyl magnesium chloride → Propan-1-ol carried out?
Options
- AWhen ethyl magnesium chloride is treated with methanal, an adduct is produced which gives propan-1-ol on hydro
- BBy direct oxidation of ethyl magnesium chloride using oxygen gas (O 2 ).
- CBy treating ethyl magnesium chloride with propanone (acetone) followed by reduction.
- DBy reacting ethyl magnesium chloride with propanoic chloride followed by hydrolysis.
Correct answer
A. When ethyl magnesium chloride is treated with methanal, an adduct is produced which gives propan-1-ol on hydro
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (A) When ethyl magnesium chloride is treated with methanal, an adduct is produced which gives propan-1-ol on hydrolysis.
