Which of the following compounds on reaction with Grignard reagent followed by hydrolysis forms secondary alcohol?
$\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CHO}$
$\mathrm{HCHO}$
$\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{COCH}_3$
$\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COCH}_3$
Solution
Aldehydes (except formaldehyde) on reaction with Grignard reagent followed by hydrolysis forms secondary alcohol.
$\therefore \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CHO}$ forms secondary alcohol.
