Question

Ethanal react with CH3MgBr followed by hydrolysis

Answer 1

Reaction of Ethanol and CH3MgBr.

Explanation:

• CH3MGBR is a Grignard reagent.
• Grignard reagents attack carbon atom to give alkoxide intermediate.
• Grignard reagent upon reacting with ethanal gives alcohol.
• It takes hydrogen from water and prevents the reaction from happening.
• With the addition of formaldehyde it makes primary alcohol.
• Other aldehydes give secondary alcohols.
• On the other hand, ketones give territory alcohol.
• The further acidic reaction converts that alkoxide into alcohol.
