Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From the given set of alkyl halides the alkyl halide capable of forming Grignard reagent has to be identified.

Concept introduction:

  • Organometallic compound it can be defined as the compound which contain Carbon – Metal bond.
  • The carbon attached to the halogen in an alkyl halide is an electrophile, whereas the carbon attached to the metal in an organometallic compound is a nucleophile.
  • Sodium Hydride (NaH) :

    Sodium hydride is the chemical compound with the empirical formula NaH.

    This is a alkali metal hydride is primarily used as a strong yet combustible base in organic synthesis.

  • Grignard reagent:

    The compound that results when magnesium is inserted between the carbon atom and the halogen of an alkyl halide like RMgBr & RMgCl
