Question:medium
An alcohol X($C_4H_{10}O$) is converted to corresponding chloride Y by shaking it with conc. HCl at room temperature. Reaction of Y with Mg in dry ether and then with water gave Z. What are Y and Z?

Show Hint
{Lucas Test Rate:} $3^\circ>2^\circ>1^\circ$. Immediate turbidity $\rightarrow$ Tertiary Alcohol.
Grignard + Active H (Water/Alcohol/Acid) $\rightarrow$ Alkane.
