Concept explainers
Interpretation: The mechanism for the reaction between Grignard reagent and oxetane to produce primary alcohol is to be proposed and the reason corresponding to the fact that oxetane reacts with Grignard reagent even though most ethers do not is to be stated.
Concept introduction: The reaction of metals like lithium and magnesium with vinyl
The compounds in which carbonyl groups are present like
The examples of Grignard reagent are ethyl magnesium bromide and
Ether is used as the solvent in the Grignard reactions.
To determine: The mechanism for the reaction between Grignard reagent and oxetane to produce primary alcohol and the reason corresponding to the fact that oxetane reacts with Grignard reagent even though most ethers do not.
