Chapter 12, Problem 54ASP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The compound which does not give 2methyl2pentanol by using Grignard reagent is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

When a Grignard reagent reacts with a carbonyl compound, the alkyl part of the reagent acts as a nucleophile and attacks the electrophilic carbonyl carbon, forming an intermediate compound. This after an acidic aqueous workup yields the product, generally alcohol, depending on the starting carbonyl compound used. The basicity of the Grignard reagent plays an important role in the kinetics and yield of the reaction.

Nucleophilic carbon atoms are often important in the formation of carbon–carbon bonds. Carbon atoms are not good nucleophiles if they do not possess a lone pair of electrons.
