Question

Acetophenone (PhCOCH3) reacts with perbenzoic acid to produce a compound X. Reaction of X with excess CH3MgBr followed by treatment with aqueous acid predominantly produces (A)  (B)  (C)  (D)

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Acetophenone reacts with perbenzoic acid to produce compound phenylacetate,

P h - O - O ∣∣ C - C H_{3}

This reaction is known as Baeyer Villiger oxidation, where a ketone group gets converted an ester in presence of a peroxide group.
Reaction of

X

with excess of

C H_{3}

MgBr followed by treatment with aqueous acid predominantly produces tert-butyl alcohol.
