Question

Experiment 1 Alcohols: Grignard Reaction ard received the Nobel Prize in chemistry for his work on carbon bond-forming reaction by which almost any alcoh aryl halides and carbonyl compounds. The Grignard reag r aryl halide, in particular a bromide, with magnesium me written and thought of as simply: Br Br Mg R' Mg R: e formation of the Grignard reagent is complex and is th carbon atom of alkyl halide starting material that is d ilic. This electrophilic reactivity can be switched to nu ganomagnesium halide, i.e., the Grignard reagent. Es ond in a Grignard reagent is polar covalent with carbon explains the nucleophilicity of carbon in a Grignard reag pond is largely ionic, as shown in the structure above. s, which have the capacity to accept two electron pairs fr nated state, are solvated by the unshared pairs of electro

Explanation / Answer

o In this reaction Mg is taken as excess

o So, R-Br will be the limiting agent

o Theoretical yield can be ca,lculated by the following formula:

Theoretical yield of the product = (Molar mass of product / Molar mass of R-Br) x Mass of R-Br
