CUET · CHEMISTRY · PYQ PAPER 2023

Identify the product C in the following sequence of reactions :
\(\text{CH}_3 - \text{CH(OH)} - \text{CH}_3 \xrightarrow{\text{Cu, 573 K}} \text{A} \xrightarrow{\text{CH}_3\text{MgBr}} \text{B} \xrightarrow{\text{H}_3\text{O}^+} \text{C}\)

  1. A \(\text{CH}_3 - \text{C(CH}_3\text{)} = \text{CH}_2\)
  2. B \(\text{(CH}_3)_3\text{COH}\)
  3. C \(\text{CH}_3 - \text{CH}_2 - \text{CH}_2 - \text{OH}\)
  4. D \(\text{CH}_3 - \text{C(OH)(CH}_3\text{)} - \text{CH}_2 - \text{CH}_3\)
