The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question, we will analyze the reactions step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the starting compound The starting compound is `(CH₃)₂CHOH`, which is a secondary alcohol known as isopropyl alcohol or 2-propanol. ### Step 2: Mild oxidation of the secondary alcohol When a secondary alcohol undergoes mild oxidation, it typically forms a ketone. In this case, the oxidation of isopropyl alcohol will yield acetone (propan-2-one). Therefore, we can denote this product as (X). **Reaction:** \[ (CH₃)₂CHOH \xrightarrow{\text{Mild Oxidation}} \text{Acetone (X)} \] ### Step 3: Reaction of acetone with methyl magnesium iodide Next, we react acetone (X) with methyl magnesium iodide (CH₃MgI), which is a Grignard reagent. In this reaction, the nucleophilic methyl group from the Grignard reagent attacks the carbonyl carbon of acetone. **Reaction:** \[ \text{Acetone (X)} + \text{CH₃MgI} \rightarrow \text{(CH₃)₂C(OH)CH₃} \text{ (intermediate)} \] ### Step 4: Hydrolysis of the intermediate After the Grignard reaction, the intermediate formed is a tertiary alcohol. Upon hydrolysis (adding water), this intermediate will yield a tertiary alcohol known as tert-butyl alcohol (or 2-methylpropan-2-ol). **Reaction:** \[ \text{(CH₃)₂C(OH)CH₃} \xrightarrow{\text{Hydrolysis}} \text{tert-Butyl Alcohol (Y)} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the final product (Y) after the hydrolysis step is tert-butyl alcohol. ### Final Answer (Y) is tert-butyl alcohol. ---
