Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The structures of different products formed from A to D are to be given.
Concept Introduction:
>The Grignard reagent or RMgX is a polar organometallic reagent that undergoes nucleophilic addition reaction with
Grignard reagent or RMgX can be synthesized from
Conversion of a reactant into its derivative can be brought about by a sequence of reactions involving various reagents.
>Ethylene glycol, in an acidic medium, forms cyclic acetal on reaction with aldehydes.
>Grignard reagent or alkyl magnesium bromide can be formed by the treatment of alkyl bromide with magnesium in the presence of dry ether.
>Reaction of alkyl magnesium bromide with aldehyde in an acidic medium forms a secondary alcohol.
>If an alcoholic and a carbonyl group are present in the same compound, they can form hemiacetal by intramolecular cyclization in an acidic medium. Furthermore, hemiacetal on treatment with methanol, forms acetal.
