Question

CH3MgBr + CO2 xrightarrow textDry ether Y xrightarrowH3O⊕ Z Identify Z from the following (A) Ethyl acetate (B) Acetic acid (C) Propanoic acid (D) Methyl acetate

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

When Grignard's reagent is treated with CO 2, a magnesium complex is formed, which on further hydrolysis yields monocarboxylic acid.

Q. $C H_{3} M g B r + C O_{2} Dry ether Y H_{3} O^{\oplus} Z$
Identify $Z$ from the following

Ethyl acetate

Acetic acid

Propanoic acid

Methyl acetate

When Grignard's reagent is treated with $C O_{2},$ a magnesium complex is formed, which on further hydrolysis yields monocarboxylic acid.

$C H_{3} - M g - B r + Dry ether$

$C H_{3} - C ∣∣ O - O - M g B r H_{3} O +$
