Question 3

A two-step preparation of propan-2-ol from 1-bromopropane is shown:

1-bromopropane→W→propan-2-ol \text{1-bromopropane} \rightarrow \mathbf{W} \rightarrow \text{propan-2-ol} 1-bromopropane→W→propan-2-ol

What is the intermediate W\mathbf{W}W?

A

CH3CH2CH2OH\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{OH}CH3​CH2​CH2​OH

B

CH3CH2CN\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CN}CH3​CH2​CN

C

CH3CH=CH2\text{CH}_3\text{CH}=\text{CH}_2CH3​CH=CH2​

D

CH3COCH3\text{CH}_3\text{COCH}_3CH3​COCH3​
