Q. In the reaction sequence
$CH _{3} CH _{2}- CH _{2} Br \xrightarrow[\text{Dry ether}]{ Mg } A \xrightarrow{ CH _{3} CHO } B \xrightarrow{ H _{3} O ^{+}} C$
the product $ 'C' $ is

AMUAMU 2016Aldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic Acids

Solution:

$CH _{3} CH _{2} CH _{2} Br \xrightarrow[\text{dry ether}]{ Mg } \underset{(A)}{CH _{3} CH _{2} CH _{2} MgB}r \xrightarrow{ CH _{3} CHO } \downarrow$
image
Hence, the product ‘$C$’ is $2$-pentanol
