Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 3-Hexanone

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Propene undergoes anti-markonikov's addtion with HBr in presence of peroxide to from 1-bromopropane.1-bromopropane reacts with magnesium in presence of dry ether to form the grignard reagent propylmagnesium bromide.Propanal undergoes nucleophilic addition with propylmagnesium…
