Ques. 1NEET (UG) 2021

What is the IUPAC name of the organic compound formed in the following chemical reaction? Acetone [(ii) H2O, H+](i) C2H5MgBr, Dry ether product

  1. 2-methylbutan-2-ol
  2. 2-methylpropan-2-ol
  3. pentan-2-ol
  4. pentan-3-ol

Answer

(1) 2-methylbutan-2-ol

Solution

As per NCERT, Grignard reagent adds to a ketone and hydrolysis gives a tertiary alcohol.

(CH3)2C=O + C2H5MgBr dry ether (CH3)2C(OMgBr)C2H5

(CH3)2C(OMgBr)C2H5 H2O, H+ (CH3)2C(OH)CH2CH3

Longest chain 4 C, OH and CH3 on C-2 ⇒ 2-methylbutan-2-ol

Answer: (1)
