Question

`CH_(3)COOC_(2)H_(5` with excess of `C_(2)H_(5)MgBr` and hydrolysis gives
A. `CH_(3)-underset(C_(2)H_(5))underset(|)(C)=O`
B. `CH_(3)-underset(C_(2)H_(5))underset(|)overset(C_(2)H_(5))overset(|)(C)-OH`
C. `CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)(C)=O`
D. `CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(C_(2)H_(5))overset(|)(C)=O`

Answer 1

Correct Answer - B
`CH_(3)-overset(O)overset(||)(underset("Ester")(C))-OC_(2)H_(5)+C_(2)H_(5)MgBr to CH_(3)-underset(C_(2)H_(5))underset(|)overset(OC_(2)H_(5))overset(|)(C)-OMgBr overset(-Mg(OC_(2)H_(5))Br)toCH_(3)-underset(C_(2)H_(5))underset(|)(C)=O overset(C_(2)H_(5)MgBr)toCH_(3)-underset(C_(2)H_(5))underset(|)overset(C_(2)H_(5))overset(|)(C)-OMgBr underset(HOH)overset(-Mg(OH)Br)toH_(3)C-underset(C_(2)H_(5)) underset(|)overset(C_(2)H_(5))overset(|)(C)-OMgBr underset(HOH)overset(-Mg(OH)Br)toH_(3)C-underset(C_(2)H_(5))underset(|)overset(C_(2)H_(5))overset(|)(C)-OH" "3^(@)` alcohol.
