Chapter 20, Problem 20.47P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The product formed for the given reaction with organometallic reagents is to be predicted.

Concept introduction: The substitution reaction involves the replacement of one functional group by other functional group. In nucleophilic substitution an electron rich species attack the species that is deficient in electrons. The electrophile and the leaving group together form a substrate. The nucleophile attacks over the substrate and there occurs the removal of leaving group from the substrate.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The product formed for the given reaction with organometallic reagents is to be predicted.

Concept introduction: Grignard reagent is prepared by the reaction of alkyl or aryl bromide with magnesium metal in the presence of ether. The reaction of Grignard reagent with an aldehyde/ketone followed by hydrolysis yields an alcohol.

Interpretation Introduction
