Question:

Which of the following reagents convert 1- Chloropropane to Propane?

Show Hint

Grignard reagents (Mg in dry ether) followed by water are commonly used to reduce alkyl halides to alkanes.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

- 1-Chloropropane can be converted into propane via a reduction reaction.
- Mg in dry ether & then H\(_2\)O is a method of reducing alkyl halides (like 1-chloropropane) to alkanes, and in this case, it reduces 1-chloropropane to propane.
Thus, the correct answer is (1) Mg/dry ether & then H\(_2\)O.
