Question:

Identify 'A' in the following reaction: 
\(\text{2 A + (C\(_6\)H\(_5\)CH\(_2\))\(_2\)Cd $\xrightarrow{}$ 2 CH\(_3\)-C-CH\(_2\)-C\(_6\)H\(_5\) + CdCl\(_2\)} \)
 

Show Hint

Grignard reagents (such as CH\(_3\)-Mg-Cl) react with carbonyl compounds to form alcohols and other products.

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the reaction.
This is a Grignard reagent reaction where a carbonyl compound (acetyl chloride, CH\(_3\)-CO-Cl) reacts with a Grignard reagent (CH\(_3\)-Mg-Cl) to form a product via a nucleophilic addition. The reaction of CH\(_3\)-CO-Cl with the Grignard reagent forms a ketone (CH\(_3\)-CO-C\(_6\)H\(_5\)).

Step 2: Conclusion.
The correct answer is (C) CH\(_3\)-CO-Cl.
