Question

Explain the Grignard reagent preparation applications with suitable examples




one who will answer it first will be marked as brainliest answer​

Answer 1

Answer:

Grignard reagents are made by adding the halogenoalkane to small bits of magnesium in a flask containing ethoxyethane (commonly called diethyl ether or just "ether"). The flask is fitted with a reflux condenser, and the mixture is warmed over a water bath for 20 - 30 minutes.

Answer 2

Answer:

Grignard reagent reacts with solid CO2 (dry ice) to form magnesium salt of carboxylic acid. This is followed by acidification to obtain carboxylic acid. For example, the reaction between methyl magnesium bromide and carbon dioxide followed by acid hydrolysis will give acetic acid.
