Question

Preparation of propiophenone from propanenitrile

Answer 1

Answer:

Phenylmagnesium bromide is a chemical compound need to be used in the reaction to convert the propiophenone from propanenitrile. This chemical compound is commercially available in the diethyl ether. Finally, on using the H20 to the reaction, propiophenone gets formed.

Answer 2

Propane-nitrile + diethylether = Propiophenone

Explanation:

Grignard reagent (Phenyl magnesium bromides) in the presence of di-ethyl ether and hydronium ion react with propio-phenone to form an intermediate that is imine intermediate which is then converted to propane-nitrile.

Finally, after the formation of imine intermediate by using the water and heat to the reaction, propiophenone is formed.

The reaction of the preparation of propiophenone from propanenitrile is explained by the following attachment -
