The compound  obtained on the hydrolysis of the product formed by acetaldehyde and Grignard reagent is:

A)  

B)                         \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}C-OH\]

C)                         \[C{{H}_{3}}-OH\]

D)                         \[C{{H}_{3}}-O-C{{H}_{3}}\]

Correct Answer: A

Solution :

\[\underset{Acetaldehyde}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{H}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,=O}}\,+C{{H}_{3}}MgBr\xrightarrow{{}}\] \[C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{H}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{\overset{C{{H}_{3}}}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,}}\,}}\,-OMgBr\xrightarrow{H.OH/{{H}^{+}}}\]
