Organomagnesium compounds
The interaction of alkyl halide with Mg metal in a suitable ether solvent is the common method for the synthesis of the Grignard reagent.
Hydrolysis Grignard Reactions and Reduction
Organomagnesium halides are Grignard reagents. Francois Auguste Victor Grignard, a French chemist who received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1912, created these highly useful reagents.
Draw a stepwise mechanism for the conversion of lactone A to ester B
using HCl in ethanol. B is converted in one step to ethyl chrysanthemate,
a useful intermediate in the synthesis of a variety of pyrethrins, naturally occurring insecticides with three-membered rings that are isolated from
chrysanthemums
