The conversion of 2- methylpropan – 1 – ol to 2- methylpropan -2- ol is
- A Addition reaction
- B Rearrangement reaction
- C Substitution reaction
- D Elimination reaction
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Rearrangement reaction
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The conversion of 2- methylpropan -1- ol to 2- methylpropan – 2 – ol is a rearrangement reaction. In these reactions, the carbon skeleton of a molecule is rearranged to give a structural isomer of the original molecule. Here, the alcohol group of 2 – methylpropan – 1 – ol moves from one atom to another atom in the same molecule to give 2 – methylpropan – 2 – ol.
