- Convert benzene into attached compound. You may also use any inorganicreagents and organic alcohols having four or fewer carbons. One step of the synthesis must use a Grignard reagent.arrow_forwardWhat happens when an aldehyde gives a silver mirror when treated with Tollen’s reagent and give red-brown precipitate when treated with Fehling’s solution?

- Convert benzene into each compound. You may also use any inorganic reagents and organic alcohols having four or fewer carbons. One step of the synthesis must use a Grignard reagent.arrow_forwardWhen performing a Grignard reaction it is also very important that the reaction be free from acetone (a chemical we commonly use to clean the glassware). Why must the glassware be free from acetone? A. Acetone reacts with the diethyl ether causing a side reaction to occur B. Acetone is a nucleophile that will react with the Grignard reagent C. Acetone reacts with the bromobenzene D. Acetone is an electrophile that will react with the Grignard reagentarrow_forwardWhy is it not advisable to use aqueous hydrochloric acid in a Grignard reaction of a ketone? A) The Grignard reagent will react with the acid and cannot react with the ketone. B) The ketone will be protonated and will become unreactive. C) The ketone will form an unreactive enol. D) The Grignard reagent won't dissolve in aqueous solutionsarrow_forward
