Write reaction and conditions for the following conversions : (i) 2 - Propanone into 2 - methyl -2- propanol. (ii) n-Propyl alcohol into hexane.

Answer»

Solution :Reaction and conditions for the conversions are given below :
(i) 2 - Propanone to 2 - methtyl-2- propanol :

(ii) N - Propyl alcohol a HEXANE :
`underset("n - propyl alcohol")(CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)OH)+PCl_(5)rarr underset("1 - chloropropane")(CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)Cl)+POCl_(3)+HCL`
`underset("1 - Chloropropane")(2CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)Cl)+2Na underset(underset("WURTZ reaction")("ether"))overset("Dry")rarr underset("n - Hexane")(CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(3))+2NaCl`
