JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 7. Alcohol, phenol and ethers

An organic compound (X) with molecular formula \(\mathrm{C}_3 \mathrm{H}_6 \mathrm{O}\) is not readily oxidised. On reduction it gives \(\mathrm{C}_3 \mathrm{H}_8 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{Y})\) which reacts with HBr to give a bromide (Z) which is converted to Grignard reagent. This Grignard reagent on reaction with (X) followed by hydrolysis give 2,3-dimethylbutan-2-ol. Compounds \((\mathrm{X}),(\mathrm{Y})\) and \((\mathrm{Z})\) respectively are _______.

  1. A \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COCH}_3, \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{OH}, \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}(\mathrm{Br}) \mathrm{CH}_3\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COCH}_3, \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}(\mathrm{OH}) \mathrm{CH}_3, \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}(\mathrm{Br}) \mathrm{CH}_3\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CHO}, \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{OH}, \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{Br}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CHO}, \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}_2, \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}(\mathrm{Br}) \mathrm{CH}_3\)
