Interpretation:
Synthesis of the given acid chloride from cyclopentene has to be shown.
Concept introduction:
Acid chlorides are most often prepared by treating a
Alkyl or aryl magnesium halides (RMgX) are known as Grignard reagent. The Grignard reaction is an organometallic
Reaction of Grignard reagent with a formic ester followed by hydrolysis in aqueous acid yields secondary alcohol. Tertiary alcohol can be prepared by the reaction of Grignard reagent with ester other than formate.
