How to convert 2 propanone in to 2 methyl 2 propanol

1.	How to convert 2 propanone in to 2 methyl 2 propanol
Answer» First TREAT propanone with Grignard reagent , i.e. Magnesium Methyl Bromide CH3CO-CH3 + CH3Mg-Br → CH3-C(CH3)(OMgBr)-CH3 Then , Hydrolysis of the product formed will GIVE 2-methylpropan-2-ol CH3-C(CH3)(OMgBr)-CH3 → CH3-C(CH3)(OH) +Br-Mg(OH) . . . HOPE this helps you

Answer»

First TREAT propanone with Grignard reagent , i.e.

Magnesium Methyl Bromide

CH3CO-CH3 + CH3Mg-Br → CH3-C(CH3)(OMgBr)-CH3

Then , Hydrolysis of the product formed will GIVE

2-methylpropan-2-ol

CH3-C(CH3)(OMgBr)-CH3 → CH3-C(CH3)(OH) +Br-Mg(OH)
