Question
How is acetophenone obtained from Grignard reagent ?
✓
Answer
Grignard reagent (methyl magnesium iodide) reacts with cadmium chloride to give dimethyl cadmium. When benzoyl chloride reacts with dimethyl cadmium, acetophenone is obtained.
$2 CH _3 MgI + CdCl _2 \longrightarrow\left( CH _3\right)_2 Cd +2 Mg ( I ) Cl$
$2 CH _3 MgI + CdCl _2 \longrightarrow\left( CH _3\right)_2 Cd +2 Mg ( I ) Cl$
