Question

The reaction of butanal with n-propylmagnesium bromide gives a (A) chiral secondary alcohol (B) achiral secondary alcohol (C) chiral tertiary alcohol (D) achiral tertiary alcohol

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The reaction of butanal with n-propyl magnesium bromide (Grignard reagent) gives heptan-4-ol, which is a secondary alcohol as the 2 functional groups (— CH2CH2CH3) are same, so the formed alcohol is a chiral. CH3CH2CH2CHO+ CH3 CH2CH2MgBr <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/37f98bca9c23d04123ca25485b081660-.png" />
