Reaction of ethylmagnesium bromide with which of the following compounds yields a primary alcohol after quenching with aqueous acid?
A) ethyl acetate
B) CH3CHO
C) (CH3) 2CO
D) ethylene oxide
E) n-butyllithium
Primary Alcohol
An organic compound with a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a carbon atom that has only one carbon-carbon bond (i.e., at the end of a carbon chain).
Ethylmagnesium Bromide
A chemical reagent used in organic chemistry, specifically as a Grignard reagent, for forming carbon-carbon bonds.
Aqueous Acid
An acid solution where water acts as the solvent, capable of donating hydrogen ions (H+) to bases.
- Propose the resultants obtained after reacting Grignard and organolithium reagents with an array of electrophiles.
- Evidence understanding of the process for synthesizing alcohols using Grignard reagents.
