    Which is the product of the following reaction\[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  O \\  || \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-OC{{H}_{3}}\xrightarrow[(ii)\,\,{{H}^{+}}/{{H}_{2}}O]{(i)\,{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}MgBr\,(2\,mol)}\]

    A)  \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}-C{{H}_{2}}-OH\]

    B)  \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  OH \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,{{H}_{2}}-{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\]

    C)  

    D)  \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  O \\  || \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-O{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  O \\  || \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-OC{{H}_{3}}\xrightarrow[(ii)\,\,{{H}^{+}}/{{H}_{2}}O\,(hydrolysis)]{(i)\,\,{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}MgBr\,\,(2\,\,mol)}\]                                                 \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  OH \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  {{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}  \\  \text{(}\,\,\,{{3}^{o}})\text{ }alcohol \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\] Note Firstly ketone \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  O \\  || \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\] is produced which on further reaction with \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}MgBr\]gives tertiary alcohol.
