Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the main product when 1-bromopropane is treated with magnesium in dry ether? (2019)
  • Step 1: Start with 1-bromopropane, which is a compound that contains a bromine atom attached to a three-carbon chain (propane).
  • Step 2: Add magnesium metal to the 1-bromopropane in a dry ether solution. Dry ether is a solvent that does not contain water.
  • Step 3: The magnesium reacts with the bromine atom in 1-bromopropane, replacing the bromine with a magnesium atom.
  • Step 4: This reaction creates a new compound called propylmagnesium bromide, which is a type of Grignard reagent.
