Question

The treatment of CH₃MgX with CH₃C ≡ C - H produces
(a) CH₃ -CH = CH₂ (b) CH₃C ≡ C -CH₃

H H
| |
(c) CH₃ - C = C- CH₃ (d) CH₄

Answer 1

option b was correct

the given answer was based on Gridnard reaction

Answer 2

The treatment of CH₃MgX with CH₃C ≡ C - H produces

(d) CH₄

The reaction of alkyl magnesium halide with propyne is an example of Grignard's reaction.

The reaction of CH₃MgX with propyne produces methane gas and CH₃CCMgX. The reaction is shown below.

CH₃MgX + CH₃C ≡ C - H → CH₃CCMgX + CH₄

So, option (d) is correct.
