- \( (CH_3)_2CH-CH_2MgBr/H_2O \)
- \( CH_3MgBr/H_2O \)
- \( (CH_3)_2CHMgBr/H_2O \)
- \( CH_3CH_2CH_2MgBr/H_2O \)
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
A Grignard reagent reacts with methanal (\( HCHO \)) to give a primary alcohol.
Since the desired product is isopropanol, the correct Grignard reagent is isopropyl magnesium bromide (\( (CH_3)_2CHMgBr \)).

Top Questions on Carbohydrates
- Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Sucrose is dextrorotatory. However, sucrose upon hydrolysis gives a solution having mixture of products. This solution shows laevorotation.
Statement II: Hydrolysis of sucrose gives glucose and fructose. Since the laevorotation of glucose is more than the dextrorotation of fructose, the resulting solution becomes laevorotatory.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.- JEE Main - 2026
