Compounds X has the formula C7H15Cl; Y is C7H15Br.X undergoes base-promoted E2 elimination to give a single alkene product Z. Y likewise reacts under similar conditions to give a single alkene product that is isomeric with ZCatalytic hydrogenation of Z affords 3-ethylpentane.X readily reacts in SN2 fashion with sodium iodide in acetone. Y does not undergo a similar SN2 reaction. Propose structures for X and Y.
Organomagnesium compounds
The interaction of alkyl halide with Mg metal in a suitable ether solvent is the common method for the synthesis of the Grignard reagent.
Hydrolysis Grignard Reactions and Reduction
Organomagnesium halides are Grignard reagents. Francois Auguste Victor Grignard, a French chemist who received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1912, created these highly useful reagents.
