Question

reaction of primary;secondary;tertiory alcohols with Grignard reagent yeilds.give the reaction also

Answer 1

Grignard Reagents. The Grignard Reaction is the addition of an organomagnesium halide (Grignard reagent) to a ketone or aldehyde, to form a tertiary or secondary alcohol, respectively. The reaction with formaldehyde leads to a primary alcohol.

Answer 2

Answer:

The reaction between ethanol and Grignard reagents is an acid-base reaction, but not a nucleophile-electrophile reaction. Due to the presence of an acidic hydrogen in alcohol, the reaction goes as it is a "neutralization reaction" in nature. But, instead of producing water, an alkane is produced.
