Vedclass · Answer

(B) $1$. Compound $(X)$ is $C_3H_6O$. Since it is not readily oxidised,it is a ketone,$CH_3COCH_3$ (acetone).$2$. Reduction of $(X)$ gives $(Y)$,which is $CH_3CH(OH)CH_3$ (propan$-2-$ol).$3$. Reaction of $(Y)$ with $HBr$ gives $(Z)$,which is $CH_3CH(Br)CH_3$ ($2$-bromopropane).$4$. $(Z)$ reacts with $Mg$ in ether to form the Grignard reagent $CH_3CH(MgBr)CH_3$.$5$. The Grignard reagent reacts with $(X)$ $(CH_3COCH_3)$ followed by hydrolysis to yield $2,3-$dimethylbutan$-2-$ol. $6$. Thus,$(X) = CH_3COCH_3$,$(Y) = CH_3CH(OH)CH_3$,and $(Z) = CH_3CH(Br)CH_3$.
