Question

Phenylmagnesium chloride reacts with co2 in acidic medium to give

Answer 1

After addition of acid, an alcohol is obtained. Grignard reagents also add to carbon dioxide (CO2) to form carboxylates, in a reaction similar to their reactions with ketones and aldehydes. This means that instead of adding to the carbonyl, they react with the proton instead and form the carboxylate salt.

Answer 2

ANSWER

Acid chloride react with excess grignard reagent and give tertiary alcohols. phenyl magnesium bromide, CO2 and water reaction.
