In the reaction

CH3CN+CH3MgI→A→H2O⥂/⥂H+BCH_{3}CN + CH_{3}MgI \rightarrow A\overset{\quad H_{2}O ⥂ / ⥂ H^{+}\quad}{\rightarrow}BThe compound B is

A

Acetic acid

B

Acetone

C

Acetaldehyde

D

Ethyl alcohol

Answer

Acetone

Explanation

Solution

CH3CN+CH3MgI→(CH3)2CNMgI(A)→H2O/H+−NH3CH_{3}CN + CH_{3}MgI \rightarrow \underset{(A)}{(CH_{3})_{2}CNMgI}\underset{- NH_{3}}{\overset{\quad H_{2}O/H^{+}\quad}{\rightarrow}}
