Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The observation, Grignard reaction of cyclohexanone with tert-butylmagnesium bromide yields only about 1% of the expected addition product along with 99% unreacted cyclohexanone. If D3O+ is added to the reaction mixture after a suitable period, however, the unreacted cyclohexanone is found to have one deuterium atom incorporated into it, is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Grignard reagents add to the carbonyl group in
Ketones exist in acid catalyzed reversible equilibrium with their enol tatomers.
To explain:
The observation, Grignard reaction of cyclohexanone with tert-butylmagnesium bromide yields only about 1% of the expected addition product along with 99% unreacted cyclohexanone. If D3O+ is added to the reaction mixture after a suitable period, however, the unreacted cyclohexanone is found to have one deuterium atom incorporated into it.
