Q.
Identify $X$ and $Y$.
$CH_3Br \xrightarrow[C_2H_5OC_2H_5]{Mg} X \xrightarrow[H^+]{Y} (CH_3)_3COH$
$X$
$Y$
(a)
$C_2H_5MgBr\,\,$
$(CH_3)_2C=O$
(b)
$C_2H_5OH\,\,$
$CH_3Br$
(c)
$CH_3MgBr\,\,$
$(CH_3)_2C=O$
(d)
$CH_3MgBr\,\,$
$CH_3CHO$
| $X$ | $Y$ | |
|---|---|---|
| (a) | $C_2H_5MgBr\,\,$ | $(CH_3)_2C=O$ |
| (b) | $C_2H_5OH\,\,$ | $CH_3Br$ |
| (c) | $CH_3MgBr\,\,$ | $(CH_3)_2C=O$ |
