how will you convert CH3MgBr to CH4
Answers
its a grignard reagent ,it is RMgX.
we can treat with H2O or any other compound having H+ as proton.
Then H+ will add to R , remaining
compound will attach to MgX.
CH3MgBr+H20 gives rise to CH4+MgBr(OH)
Given: CH3MgBr and CH4.
To find The conversion of CH3MgBr to CH4.
Solution: CH3MgBr comes in the category of Grignard reagents(RMgX).
So, CH3MgBr on reaction with compounds having at least once
acidic hydrogen will evolve methane/CH4 gas.
Some of the Reaction for the given questions are:
1) CH3MgBr + R'OH --------> CH4 + R'O-Mg-Br
2) CH3MgBr + R'NH2 --------> CH4 + R'NH-Mg-Br
3) CH3MgBr + R'-CCH(Alkyne) --------> CH4 + R'-CC-Mg-X
4) CHMgBr + HOH --------> CH4 + OH-Mg-X
Replace the R' group with an alkane and you will easily get 10 or
more compounds that evolve methane gas on reaction with CH3-Mg-BR.
Hence this is the solution for the required question.
