Write a balanced equation for the Grignard reaction. Prepare the Grignard reagent with 2-bromopropane and Mg. Synthesize 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-methylpropan-1-ol from the Grignard reagent and 4-methoxybenzaldehyde.
Supreeta N.
Write equations for the following: Step 1: conversion of 1-bromobutane into a Grignard reagent. Step 2: reaction of the Grignard reagent with the ketone to form an alkoxide salt. Identify the nucleophile (and its nucleophilic site) and electrophile (and its electrophilic site) in this reaction. Step 3: protonation of the alkoxide salt using ammonium chloride as the proton source. Identify the acid and base in this reaction. Write the net reaction. a. Side reaction: The Grignard reagent must be free from water. Why? Write an equation for the side reaction. Is the Grignard reagent acting as a nucleophile or a base in this mechanism?
