Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The halogenated compound that can be used to prepare a Grignard reagent for alcohol synthesis needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction: The alkyl group in the Grignard reagents (RMgX) is strongly basic and gets a partial negative charge, the metal (Mg) will have partial positive charge. Due to the negative charge on the alkyl group it cannot form bind with OH group
