Question
A compound (X) reacts with PCl5 to form compound Y. Compound Y reacts with ethereal solution of magnesium to form compound (Z), which on treating with propanone and further hydrolysis to give 2-Methyl propan-2-ol. What are the compounds X and Y and also give the equations of the reactions.
✓

Answer

The final product is 3º alcohol of four carbon, which is obtained by reacting compound Z with propanone. Therefore compound Z is a carbon containing Grignard reagent, hence the starting compound will be a alcohol having one carbon. The reaction sequence will be as follows:
