Vedclass · Answer

(C) The reaction of a Grignard reagent $(RMgX)$ with a carbonyl compound followed by hydrolysis yields an alcohol. To obtain $	ext{tert-pentyl alcohol}$ $(CH_3CH_2C(CH_3)_2OH)$,we need to react a ketone with a Grignard reagent. Here,the Grignard reagent is $C_2H_5MgI$ (ethylmagnesium iodide). When $C_2H_5MgI$ reacts with $A$ (acetone,$CH_3COCH_3$),the nucleophilic ethyl group attacks the carbonyl carbon of acetone. $CH_3COCH_3 + C_2H_5MgI ightarrow CH_3C(OMgI)(CH_3)(C_2H_5)$. Upon hydrolysis with $H_2O/H^+$,this forms $CH_3C(OH)(CH_3)(C_2H_5)$,which is $2-$methylbutan$-2-$ol,commonly known as $	ext{tert-pentyl alcohol}$. Therefore,compound $A$ is acetone.
