Question

Draw the following reaction schemes: formation of phenylmagnesium bromide; the reaction of PhMgBr with CO2; the protonation of the benzoate anion. Write a short introduction to the experiment of Grignard Synthesis of Benzoic acid. Give background on organometallic compounds in general and Grignard reagents in particular. List the expected IR peaks (stretches, resonances) that will indicate if the reaction was successful. Disappearance of a peak can also be an indication of a chemical transformation. Complete the reaction stoichiometry table and calculate the theoretical yield. Theoretical yield assumes a complete reaction. Show your calculations and enter the results in the last row of the stoichiometry table.
