Question
Chapter 12, Problem 38P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The alcohol that is formed from the reaction of the given Grignard reagent with ethylene oxide has to be found.
Concept Introduction:
Grignard reagent: Alkyl, vinyl, or aryl-magnesium halides are called as Grignard reagents.
The chemical formula of the Grignard reagent is
Grignard reagents are very good nucleophiles and the alkyl group in it act as if it is a carbanion. So the alkyl part remains as nucleophilic part of the Grignard reagent whereas the metallic magnesium part remains as electrophilic part of it.

- Aldehydes and ketones react with one molecule of an alcohol to form compounds called hemiacetals, in which there is one hydroxyl group and one ether-like group. Reaction of a hemiacetal with a second molecule of alcohol gives an acetal and a molecule of water. We study this reaction in Chapter 16. Draw structural formulas for the hemiacetal and acetal formed from these reagents.
