Question

Methyl lithium on reaction with
ethyl orthoacetate ester and
subsequent protonolysis of the
complex lead to
(A) Diethyl ketone
(B) Dimethyl ketone
(C) Ethyl methyl ketone
(D) Acetaldehyde​

Answer 1

Answer:

ethyllithium is the simplest organolithium reagent with the empirical formula CH3Li. This s-block organometallic compound adopts an oligomeric structure both in solution and in the solid state. This highly reactive compound, invariably used as a solution in ethers, is a reagent in organic synthesis as well as organometallic chemistry. Operations involving methyllithium require anhydrous conditions, because the compound is highly reactive toward water. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are also incompatible with MeLi. Methyllithium is usually not prepared, but purchased as a solution in various ethers.
