Question

Give the structure and IUPAC names of the products expected from the following reactions:

$A$: Catalytic reduction of butanal

$B$: Hydration of propene in the presence of dilute sulphuric acid

$C$: Reaction of propanone with methylmagnesium bromide followed by hydrolysis

Answer 1

$A$:
Catalytic reduction of butanal
Catalytic reduction can be done by $H_2$ in presence of catalyst $Ni/Pt/Pd$.
The reaction can be given as:
IUPAC name of product

$C{H}_3-C{H}_2-C{H}_2-C{H}_2-OH$

$Butan-1-ol$

$B$:

Hydration of propene in the presence of $dil.H_{2}S{O}_4$

Hydration of propene in the presence of dilute sulphuric acid reaction can be given as:
IUPAC name of product
Propan-2-ol

$C$:

Reaction of propanone with methylmagnesium bromide followed by hydrolysis

IUPAC name of product:
2-Methylpropan-2-ol
