Grignard Reagent | MCQs

Explanation

 Grignard reagent (RMgX) reacts with aldehydes (other than formaldehyde) to form secondary alcohols after acid hydrolysis.  

- With formaldehyde, it gives primary alcohol.  

- With ketones, it gives tertiary alcohol.

Explanation

CH₃MgBr is a Grignard reagent (a source of CH₃⁻ nucleophile).

CH₃O is shorthand for methanal (HCHO) or a methoxy group, depending on context.

Assuming the intended compound is an ester like methyl formate (HCOOCH₃), then:

CH₃MgBr reacts with an ester in two steps:

1. First addition forms a ketone.

2. The second addition gives a tertiary alcohol after hydrolysis.

So, the final product is a tertiary (3°) alcohol.

Explanation

Grignard reagent reacts with water to give alkane.

This is because Grignard reagent acts as a strong base that reacts with the active hydrogen of water that is -H of  H2O  to form alkane as shown below :
