Question

MEthod of process of athile alcohal

Answer 1

Hi there

Here is your answer

1) Hydrolysis of Alkyl Halides

This is a nucleophilic substitution reaction. The method is not a very effective one. This is because it has as olefins as by-products. ion.

R-X  +  KOHaq  →  R-OH

2) Oxymercuration and Demercuration of Alkanes

Alkenes react with mercuric acetate in presence of H2O and tetrahydrofuran to give alkyl mercury compounds. This is one of the most common types of methods to prepare alcohols.

3) Preparation of Alcohols from Grignard Reagent

We can obtain the three types of monohydric alcohols (primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols) by using Grignard reagents and carbonyl compounds. The addition of RMgX on carbonyl compounds, along with hydrolysis gives us alcohols. The Grignard reagent is basically an organometallic compound. Let us look at this reaction in greater detail as it is a very important reaction

Hope it helps
