Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The structure of the principal organic product for each of the given reactions is to be written.
Concept introduction:
Grignard and organolithium reagents are nucleophilic reagents. They react with carbonyl groups and results in the formation of a new carbon-carbon bond follows by hydrolysis that ultimately converts the carbonyl group into the desired alcohol. The hydrolysis is generally took place by the addition of a dilute acid.

- One frequently used method for preparing methyl esters is by reaction of carboxylic acids with diazomethane, CH2N2. The reaction occurs in two steps: (l) protonation of diazomethane by the carboxylic acid to yield methyldiazonium ion, CH3N2+, plus a carboxylate ion; and (2) reaction of the carboxylate ion with CH3N2+.

- The compound whose structure is shown here is acetyl acetone. It exists in two forms:the enol form and the keto form The molecule reacts with OH–to form an anion, [CH3COCHCOCH3] (often abbreviatedacac–for acetylacetonate ion). One or the most interesting aspects of this anion is thatone or more of them can react with transition metal cations to give stable, highlycolored compounds (a) Are the keto and enol forms of acetylacetone resonance forms?
