Question

1. Explain why the Grignard reagent is both a good nucleophile and a strong base. 2. A student tried to prepare a Grignard reagent from the organohalide shown below. This student was not successful. Explain why. 3. Calculate the mass of frost (water ice) on a piece of dry ice that would completely react with 2 mmol of phenylmagnesium bromide. 4. If the "dry ice" had water vapor frozen on its surface, what byproduct is formed. In other words what other then benzoic acid is formed. 5. Write balanced equations for the preparation of phenylmagnesium bromide and its reaction with dry ice followed by neutralization in acid. (Three equations)
