Question:

Which of the following Grignard reagents will be used with methanol to prepare
Grignard reagents

Show Hint

Grignard reagents react with carbonyl compounds such as aldehydes and ketones. The reaction forms an alkoxide intermediate, which, upon hydrolysis, gives the corresponding alcohol.

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The reaction of Grignard reagents with aldehydes (such as methanal) leads to the formation of alcohols after hydrolysis. In this case, CH\(_2\)OH is an alcohol, and the correct Grignard reagent for methanal would be a methyl group (CH\(_3\)-) attached to magnesium bromide (MgBr). Therefore, the correct answer is MgBr (option D), which reacts with methanol to form CH\(_2\)OH.
