How is the conversion of Methyl magnesium bromide → 2-Methylpropan-2-ol carried out?
Options
- ABy direct oxidation of methyl magnesium bromide using oxygen gas (O 2 ).
- BBy treating methyl magnesium bromide with 2-methylpropanal followed by reduction.
- CWhen methyl magnesium bromide is treated with propane, an adduct is the product which gives 2-methylpropan-2-o
- DBy reacting methyl magnesium bromide with 2-methylpropanal followed by oxidation.
Correct answer
C. When methyl magnesium bromide is treated with propane, an adduct is the product which gives 2-methylpropan-2-o
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (C) When methyl magnesium bromide is treated with propane, an adduct is the product which gives 2-methylpropan-2-ol on hydrolysis.
