Propanone is treated with CHX3MgBr and the product is hydrolysed with HX3OX+. The alcohol obtained is
Apropan-2-ol
Bbutan-2-ol
C2-methylpropan-1-ol
D2-methylpropan-2-ol
Answer: D
Ketones react with Grignard reagents to give tertiary alcohols. (CHX3)X2C=O plus CHX3MgBr gives (CHX3)X3C−OMgBr, which on hydrolysis gives 2-methylpropan-2-ol.
