Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following compounds can be prepared by the reaction of an alkyl halide with magnesium?
  • Step 1: Understand what an alkyl halide is. It is a compound that contains a carbon chain (alkyl) and a halogen (like Cl, Br, or I).
  • Step 2: Know what magnesium does in this reaction. Magnesium reacts with the alkyl halide to form a Grignard reagent.
  • Step 3: Recognize that a Grignard reagent has the general formula R-Mg-X, where R is the alkyl group and X is the halogen.
  • Step 4: Identify that Grignard reagents are important because they can react with other compounds to form new carbon-carbon bonds.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the compounds that can be prepared from this reaction are those that can be formed by further reactions of the Grignard reagent.
