Solution
The correct option is DR−Br,R−Mg−Br,R−CH2−CH2−O−Mg−Br,R−CH2CH2−OH R−OHPBr3→R−BrMg/Dryether−−−−−−−−→R−Mg−BrGrignardreaction−−−−−−−−−−−→CH2−CH2−OR−CH2−CH2−O−Mg−BrH+/H2O−−−−−→RCH2−CH2−OH
PBr3 converts primary or secondary alcohol to alkyl halide. Mg and dryether forms Grignard reagent R-Mg-X , which on reaction with epoxide like ethylene oxide (CH2CH2O) forms R−CH2CH2−O−Mg−Br and then in presence of acid gives alcohol.
So the order is R−Br,R−Mg−Br,R−CH2−CH2−O−Mg−Br,R−CH2CH2−OH.
