A Grignard reagent is prepared by reacting trans-1-bromo-1-butene with magnesium. What are the products of the reaction when this reagent is reacted with: a. Ethanol

Solution :

A Grignard compound or a Grignard reagent is defined as a chemical compound having a generic formula of  R−Mg−X.

Here, X = halogen

          R = organic group

The Grignard reagents are obtained by treating the organic halide  with a magnesium metal.

In the context, when  trans-1-bromo-1-butene is reacted with magnesium, a Grignard reagent is produced.

When this Grignard reagent is reacted with an ethanol, the following product is obtained in the attachment :
