- Grignard reagents react with oxirane (ethylene oxide) to form 1° alcohols but can be prepared in tetrahydrofuran solvent. Why is this difference in behavior observed? A. There is a better leaving group in the oxirane molecule. B. Steric hindrance in the case of tetrahydrofuran precludes reaction with the Grignard. C. It is easier to obtain tetrahydrofuran in anhydrous condition. D. Oxirane is a cyclic ether, while tetrahydrofuran is a hydrocarbon. E. The oxirane ring is the more highly strained.arrow_forwarda.
