(a)
Interpretation:
The number of stereoisomers has to be identified when the reaction of 2-pentanone with ethyl magnesium bromide followed by the addition of dilute acid.
Concept introduction:
The Grignard reaction:
Alkyl, vinyl, or aryl-magnesium halides (
Grignard reagent is reaction with carbonyl compound such as
Stereoisomers: Stereoisomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula and they differ only in arrangement of atom in three-dimensional space.
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of stereoisomers has to be identified when the reaction of 2-pentanone with methyl magnesium bromide followed by the addition of dilute acid.
Concept introduction:
The Grignard reaction:
Alkyl, vinyl, or aryl-magnesium halides (
Grignard reagent is reaction with carbonyl compound such as aldehyde or ketone, produces corresponding alcohol is the product and it is the one of the carbon – carbon bond forming reaction.
Stereoisomers: Stereoisomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula and they differ only in arrangement of atom in three-dimensional space.
