Identify the product 'B' in the following reaction sequence.

Correct answer

1

Step-by-step solution

The given reaction sequence involves the formation of a Grignard reagent followed by its reaction with an alcohol. The reactant 2-chlorobutane reacts with magnesium (Mg) in the presence of dry ether to form a Grignard reagent, sec-butylmagnesium chloride (A). CH₃-CH₂-CH(Cl)-CH₃ Mg, Dry ether CH₃-CH₂-CH(MgCl)-CH₃ Grignard reagents are strong bases and react vigorously with compounds containing acidic hydrogen atoms, such as alcohols, water, and amines, to form alkanes. Ethanol ( C₂H₅OH ) provides an acidic proton. T
