Question
A compound $(X)$ reacts with $PCl_5$ 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 $3^\circ$ 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:
