Question
An organic compound (X) with molecular formula ${{\rm{C}}_3}{{\rm{H}}_6}{\rm{O}}$ is not readily oxidised. On reduction it gives ${{\rm{C}}_3}{{\rm{H}}_8}{\rm{O}}({\rm{Y}})$ which reacts with HBr to give a bromide (Z) which is converted to Grignard reagent. This Grignard reagent on reaction with (X) followed by hydrolysis give 2,3-dimethylbutan-2-ol. Compounds (X),(Y) and (Z) respectively are:
Select the correct option:
A
${\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_3}{\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_2}{\rm{CHO}},{\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_3}{\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_2}{\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_2}{\rm{OH}},{\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_3}{\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_2}{\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_2}{\rm{Br}}$
B
${\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_3}{\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_2}{\rm{CHO}},{\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_3}{\rm{CH}} = {\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_2},{\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_3}{\rm{CH}}({\rm{Br}}){\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_3}$
C
${\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_3}{\rm{COC}}{{\rm{H}}_3},{\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_3}{\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_2}{\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_2}{\rm{OH}},{\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_3}{\rm{CH}}({\rm{Br}}){\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_3}$
D
${\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_3}{\rm{COC}}{{\rm{H}}_3},{\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_3}{\rm{CH}}({\rm{OH}}){\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_3},{\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_3}{\rm{CH}}({\rm{Br}}){\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_3}$
