Question

Because it possesses an unsaturated carbon that is partially positive, CO2 reacts with Grignard reagents to form alkyl and aryl carboxylic acids. There is, however, one logistical problem involving the manipulation and transport of dry ice that decreases the reaction yield. Describe that problem and propose a strategy to protect the yield.

Explanation / Answer

Dry ice reaction is exothrmic and it evaporate at room temperature to gives the less yield, to avoid this we should use large size of reaction tube and excess amount dry ice.
