    Which will give chiral molecule?

    A)  \[C{{H}_{3}}COCl\xrightarrow{LiAl{{H}_{4}}}\]

    B)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}CHO\xrightarrow[{{H}^{+}}/{{H}_{2}}O]{C{{H}_{3}}MgBr}\]

    C)  \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}CH{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\xrightarrow{Cu}\]

    D)  

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Key Idea: The chiral carbon atom has 4 different groups or atoms attached to it. \[\underset{propanal}{\mathop{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}CHO}}\,+\underset{Grignard\text{ }reagent}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}MgBr}}\,\xrightarrow{{}}\]\[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  OMgBr \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}\] \[{{\downarrow }^{{{H}_{2}}O/{{H}^{+}}}}\] \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  OH \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  H \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}\] \[{{C}^{*}}\] is asymmetric carbon atom.
