Correct answer: C
-
Identify the carbonyl compound from the formula
A Grignard reagent adds an ethyl group to a carbonyl compound.
The product after hydrolysis is said to react instantly with Lucas reagent, which means the alcohol formed is a tertiary alcohol.
Therefore, the starting compound must be a ketone (since Grignard addition to a ketone gives a tertiary alcohol).
A ketone with formula is acetophenone:
-
Reaction with ethylmagnesium bromide
Acetophenone reacts with as:
On hydrolysis:
So compound is a tertiary alcohol, namely:
-
Reaction with Lucas reagent
Lucas reagent converts tertiary alcohols immediately to alkyl chlorides:
Thus compound is:
-
Check molecular formula
Phenyl group:
Other groups attached to central carbon: and
Total: and one Cl.
So formula is:
This matches the given formula.
-
Conclusion
Compound is:
This corresponds to option C.
