CH3CH ( OH ) CH3....i hope it helps you

mark me as a brainlist.

Answer 2

Answer: The conversion is given below.

Explanation:

For the given conversion, we need to follow some steps, which are:

Step 1: Converting bromomethane to methyl magnesium bromide

When bromomethane is reacted with magnesium metal in the presence of anhydrous ether, it results in the formation of methyl magnesium bromide.

Step 2: Converting methyl magnesium bromide to propan-2-ol

When methyl magnesium bromide is reacted with acetaldehyde followed by hydrolysis, it results in the formation of propan-2-ol.

Step 3: Converting propan-2-ol to propanone.

When propan-2-ol is oxidized in the presence of PCC or using Copper metal at 250°C, it results in the formation of propanone.

The equations for the conversion are given in the image attached below.
