Vedclass · Answer

(A) The reaction of a Grignard reagent $(R-MgX)$ with methanal $(HCHO)$ followed by hydrolysis yields a primary alcohol with one more carbon atom than the Grignard reagent.To obtain $2-$methylpropan$-1-$ol $(CH_3-CH(CH_3)-CH_2-OH)$, the Grignard reagent must contain a total of $3$ carbon atoms in the $R$ group.Thus, the $R$ group must be an isopropyl group $(CH_3-CH(CH_3)-)$.The reaction is:$CH_3-CH(CH_3)-MgX + HCHO \rightarrow CH_3-CH(CH_3)-CH_2-OMgX$$CH_3-CH(CH_3)-CH_2-OMgX + H_2O \rightarrow CH_3-CH(CH_3)-CH_2-OH + Mg(OH)X$Therefore, the correct Grignard reagent is isopropylmagnesium halide, which is option $A$.
