How can propane-2-one be converted into tert- butyl alcohol?

 

Answers (1)

When ketones are treated with dry ether (Grignard's Reagent), they get converted into tertiary alcohols after hydrolysis. Thus to convert Propane-2-one to tert- butyl alcohol in the presence of Grignard's Reagent, you need to add CH_{3}MgBr and also perform hydrolysis to get the desired result.
