The carbon-carbon bond next to the carbonyl group is broken during the oxidation of unsymmetrical ketones. Because it has fewer hydrogen atoms attached to it, the carbon atom is more electron-deficient and more oxidizable. The other carbon atom is reduced while this one is oxidized. Two distinct carboxylic acids are formed as a result.

The regiochemistry of HX addition to unsymmetrically substituted alkenes is predicted by the Markovnikov Rule. While the hydrogen prefers the carbon that already has more hydrogens, the halide component of HX forms a preferential bond with the more highly substituted carbon.

Because of its low bond energy, the iodide ion is an excellent leaving group that can be readily substituted because it allows KOH (aq) to attack and proceed with the SN reaction.

CH3Mg, the Grignard reagentOnly when it reacts with formaldehyde (HCHO) will I produce a primary alcohol. Therefore, C is the right response.

A substrate is a molecule that has both an electrophile and a leaving functional group. Nucleophiles attack this molecule to create a product.

The general formula for esters is RCOOR′, where R can be an aryl, alkyl, or hydrogen atom and R′ can be an aryl or alkyl group but not a hydrogen atom.

Esters are used as flavoring agents because of their sweet scent.

Option A is a ketone that is reduced to a secondary alcohol by the reducing agent NaBH4. Due to the presence of the carbonyl functional group in the middle of the chain, a secondary alcohol is produced when the hydroxyl group is formed in the same location following reduction.

At room temperature, phenols are white solids that can be extremely caustic and toxic.

Grignard’s Reagent and ethylene epoxide combine to form an additive product, which hydrolyzes to produce primary alcohol. The number of C atoms in the “R” group of the Grignard reagent determines the type of primary alcohol (RMgX).

Since there are two carbon atoms in Grignard’s Reagent and two in ethylene epoxide, primary alcohol will have four carbon atoms overall; hence, the alcohol that is produced is known as 1-butanol.
