Question

Number of moles of R MgX reacts with
COOH-ch-(ch=ch2)2-cooh​

Answer 1

Answer:

no idea about the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

Step 1:

The nucleophilic C in the Grignard reagent adds to the electrophilic C in the polar carbonyl group, electrons from the C=O move to the electronegative O creating an intermediate magnesium carboxylate complex. addition of Grignard reagent to an aldehyde

Step 2:

This is the work-up step, a simple acid/base reaction. Protonation of the carboxylate oxygen creates the carboxylic acid product from the intermediate complex.
