Question

1. Which compounds can be applied to prepare the corresponding Grignard Reagent?

A) CH3CHOHCH2CH2CH2CH2BR

B) (CH3)3CHCHBrCH2CH2CO2

C) BrCH=CHCH2CH2CH3

D) CH3NHCH2CH2Br

E) none of the above can be used to prepare the corresponding grignard reagent.


2. If the role of the solvent is to assist in stabilization and preparation of the grignard reagent by coordination with the magnesium, which of these solvents should be least effective?

A) CH3CH2OCH2CH3

B) Oxolane

C) (CH3CH2)N

D) CH3(CH2)4CH3

E) CH3OCH2CH2OCH3

Explanation / Answer

1) A, B, D can be used


2) it needs a reagent which can act as ligand so

CH3(CH2)4CH3will be least effective
