Question

A student has performed the Grignard reaction between procedure. What composition will have layers after the first extraction with sulfuric acid? phenylmagnesium bromide and methyl benzoate and started the work-up step of the the top layer after the extraction with sulfuric acid contains Choose and sulfuric acid tion the bottom layer after the extraction with sulfuric acid diphenyl ketone, phenylmagnesium bromide, mag magnesium salts, sulfuric acid phenyl magnesium bromide, small amount of water, and sulfuric acid triphenyl methanol, small amount of water, and sulfuric acld contains

Explanation / Answer

The mixture will have triphenyl methanol and water along with H2SO4.

Since initially diphenyl ketone is formed but ketone is more reactive than ester towards Grignard reagent hence further reacts with another mole of Grignard Reagent and forms tertiary alcohol triphenyl methanol.
