Question

Which electrophilic functional group is uses as a starting material to synthesize a secondary alcohol from a Grignard reaction?

How many mole equivalents of a Grignard react with an ester? Answer with a numeric value, 0, 1, 1.5, 2 or 3 etc.

What would be the product of the following reaction? 1042 2. CH3CH2OH 3. H+,H20 0 A. O A QUESTION 4 Which electrophilic functional group is used as a starting material to synthesize a secondary alcohol from a Grignard reaction? O ketone primary alcohol ester O aldehyde

Explanation / Answer

Question 3; option C is the major product

Explanation: Insertion of Mg into alkyl halide produces gringard reagent as product. Reaction of grignard reagent with alcohol produces hydrocarbon as product.

Question 4: Aldehyde functional group is uses as a starting material to synthesize a secondary alcohol from a Grignard reaction

Question 5: Two mole equivalents of a Grignard react with an ester

Explanation: Reaction of one mole of grignard reagent with ester produces ketone as product. Another mole of grignard reagent with ketone produces alcohol as product.
