Which of the following statements is incorrect regarding preparation of alcohols? give primary alcohol and secondary alcohol respectively b) Ketones on reaction with Grignard’s reagent gives tertiary alcohol c) Aldehydes on reaction with Grignard’s reagent gives primary or secondary alcohol d) Alkyl halides on reaction alcoholic potash gives alcohol

Which of the following statements is incorrect regarding preparation of alcohols? give primary alcohol and secondary alcohol respectively b) Ketones on reaction with Grignard’s reagent gives tertiary alcohol c) Aldehydes on reaction with Grignard’s reagent gives primary or secondary alcohol d) Alkyl halides on reaction alcoholic potash gives alcohol Correct Answer H

Whenever an alkyl halide reacts with alcoholic potash (or alcoholic sodium hydroxide), beta-elimination of the halide occurs, leading to the formation of an alkene.
