Question

compound A reacts with SOCl​ 2 to give
compound B B reacts with Mg to form grignard reagant which is
treated with acetone and the product is hydrolysed to give
2-Methylbutane-2-ol find A and B?

Geetha · Accepted Answer

Compound A reacts with SOCl2 to give compound B, as B forms
grignard reagent, it is alkylhalide which is is formed from alcohol
A B reacts with acetone to give the product calledt-alcohol So A is
an alcohol, B is alkyl halide CH3CH2OH
+ SOCl2→CH3CH2ClA BCH3CH2Cl + Mg
→CH3CH2MgClCH3CH2MgCl + CH3COCH3
→CH3C(OMgCl)(CH2CH3)CH3→CH3C(OH)(CH2CH3)CH3A -EthanolB-
Ethyl chloride

compound A reacts with SOCl​ 2 to give compound B. B reacts with Mg to form grignard reagant which is treated with acetone and the product is hydrolysed to give 2-Methylbutane-2-ol. find A and B?

compound A reacts with SOCl ₂ to give compound B. B reacts with Mg to form grignard reagant which is treated with acetone and the product is hydrolysed to give 2-Methylbutane-2-ol. find A and B?
