An alkyl chloride(X) reacts with Mg metal in presence of dry ether followed by treatment of ethanol gives propane . Write the structure of the alkylchloride(X)
Answers
If alkyl halide (R---X) is reacted with magnesium (Mg) in presence of dry ether, Grignard reagent is formed.
Also known as alkyl magnesium halide.

Answer:
In general alkyl chloride on reaction with Mg in the presence of dry ether forms Grignard reagent and its followed by the treatment of ethanol to form an alkane.
Explanation:
As the product here is propane the alkyl chloride be will be C₃H₇cl so the reaction is as follows,
C₃H₇-Cl→C₃H₇Mgcl+C₂H₅OH→C₃H₈+Mgcl-OC₂H₅
In this reaction the alkyl chloride first reacts with Mg in the presence of dry ether to form Grignard reagent and when this Grignard reagent on further reaction with ethanol gives a alkane namely propane.The structure of alkyl chloride that is propane structure will be CH3-CH-Cl-CH3.
