Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Two ways of synthesis for the given compound has to be given choosing the reagents.
Concept Introduction:
Oxidation state of an element is the total number of valence electron that it loses or gains to attain the stable octet structure.
If the oxidation state of the carbon atom has increased after the reaction, then we say oxidation reaction has occurred. A simple example is conversion of an alcohol to ketone/aldehyde or
If the oxidation state of the carbon atom has decreased after the reaction, then we say reduction reaction has occurred. A simple example is conversion of ketone/aldehyde to an alcohol.
Grignard Reaction:
When a ketone or an aldehyde is attacked by a Grignard reagent, an alcohol is formed and an example for this reaction is given below,
