Chapter 12.5, Problem 10P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

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 (RMgX) is called as Grignard reagent.

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.

    Essential Organic Chemistry (3rd Edition), Chapter 12.5, Problem 10P , additional homework tip  1

Stereoisomers: Stereoisomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula and they differ only in arrangement of atom in three-dimensional space.
