Question

Which of the following sequences of reactions must be carried out respectively to get a secondary alcohol for primary alcohol?

• A. Oxidation reaction with $R-Mg-I$, hydrolysis/$H^{+}$
• B. Oxidation reaction with $R-Mg-Cl$, hydrolysis/$H^{+}$
• C. Hydrolysis/$H^{+}$, oxidation reaction with $R-Mg-O$
• D. Oxidation

Answer 1

The correct option is A Oxidation reaction with $R-Mg-I$, hydrolysis/$H^{+}$

The following sequence of reactions must be carried out respectively to get a secondary alcohol for primary alcohol.
Oxidation reaction with $R-Mg-I$, hydrolysis/$H^{+}$
Hence option A is correct.
