Answer 2

Answer:

             2-Methyl-2-hexanol

Explanation:

                    1-bromobutane when reacted with Magnesium in ether forms a Grignard reagent.

                    The Grignard reagent reacts with carbonyl compounds to produce corresponding alcohols.

                   Primary alcohols are formed when the carbonyl compound is formaldehyde.

                    Secondary alcohols are formed when the carbonyl compound is any aldehyde other than formaldehyde.

                    Tertiary alcohols are formed when Grignard reagent is reacted with ketones.

                    In given question the carbonyl compound is Acetone (ketone) hence the final product will be a tertiary alcohol.
