Question

Which of the following reactions will yield propan-2-ol ? Select the right answer from (a), (b), (c) and (d)
I. `CH_(2)=CH-CH_(3)+H_(2)O overset(H^(+))(rarr)`
II. `CH_(3)-CHO overset(CH_(3)MgI//H_(2)O)(rarr)`
III. `CH_(2)O underset(H_(2)O)overset(C_(2)H_(5)MgI)(rarr)`
IV. `CH_(2)=CH-CH_(3) overset("Neutral "KMnO_(4))(rarr)`
A. I and II
B. II and III
C. III and I
D. II and IV

Answer 1

Correct Answer - A
`CH_(3)CH=CH_(2)` on hydration and `CH_(3)CHO` upon reacting with `CH_(3)Mgl` followed by hydrolysis will give propan-2-ol.
