Question

How will you convert aceton into 2 methyl 2 propanol

Answer 1

CH3-C(=O)-CH3 : acetone 

CH3MgCl: Methyl magnesium chloride 

CH3-C(=O)-CH3+CH3MgCl -----1---> CH3-C(-CH3)(-OMgCl)-CH3 ----2---->CH3-C(-CH3)(-OH)-CH3 +MgCl(OH) 

1:Grignard reaction 

2: Hydrolisys of Grignard compund 

CH3-C(-CH3)(-OH)-CH3 is 2-methyl-2-propanol
