Question

What happens when acetyl chloride is treated with excess of CH3MgI?

Answer 1

When the compound Acetyl chloride, also known as $CH_3COCl$, comes into contact with the another chemical compound Methylmagnesium iodide, that is $CH_3MgI$, it results in the formation of Propanone or Acetone, that is $(CH_3)_2CO$. The attachment given below provides with the formation of propanone or acetone after Acetyl chloride reacts with Methylmagnesium iodide.
