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.

Explain this observation: Ethyl 3-phenylpropanoate(C6H5CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3 ) reacts with electrophiles to afford ortho- and para-disubstituted arenes, but ethyl 3-phenylprop-2-enoate (C6H5CH=CHCO2CH2CH3) reacts with electrophiles to afford metadisubstituted arenes.
Provide the structure of the two organic product(s) which results when 2-bromo-2-methylbutane is treated with sodium ethoxide.
When butane reacts with Br₂ in the presence of Cl₂, both brominated and chlorinated products are obtained. Under such conditions, the usual selectivity of bromination is not observed. In other words, the ratio of 2-bromobutane to 1-bromobutane is very similar to the ratio of 2-chlorobutane to 1-chlorobutane. Can you offer and explanation as to why we do not observe the normal selectivity expected for bromination? Chlorine radicals perform the first propagation step (hydrogen abstraction) comparison to bromine radicals. Under these conditions in radicals form easily in the presence of chlorine radicals. Subsequently, the resulting radicals can react with bromine in a second propagation step to yield monobrominated products.
