Question

Identify the reactant X and the product Y.
$CH_3 - CO - CH_3 + X \longrightarrow $
$(CH_3)_3 C - OMgCl \xrightarrow{Hydrolysis} Y + Mg(OH)CI$

• A. $X = MgCl_2; \, \, \, Y = CH_3 CH = CH_2$
• B. $X = CH_3MgCl; \, \, \, Y = C_2H_5COCH_3$
• C. $X = CH_5MgCl; \, \, \, Y = (CH_3)_3 C-OH$
• D. $X = C_2H_5MgCl; \, \, \, Y = (CH_3)_3 C-OH$
• E. $X = MgCl(OH); \, \, \, Y = (CH_3)_2 CHOH$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Correct answer is (d) $X = C_2H_5MgCl; \, \, \, Y = (CH_3)_3 C-OH$
