Answer:
4-oxopentanoic acid.
Explanation:
In this case, we must remember that the Grignard reaction is a reaction in which <u>carbanions</u> are produced. Carboanions have the ability to react with CO2 to generate a new C-C bond and a carboxylate ion. Finally, the acid medium will protonate the carboxylate to produce the <u>carboxylic acid group.
</u>
The molecules that can follow the mechanism described above are the molecules: p-methylbenzoic acid, cyclopentane carboxylic acid and 3-methylbutanoic acid. (See figure 1)
In the case of <u>4-oxopentanoic acid</u>, the possible carbanion <u>will attack the carbonyl group</u> to generate a cyclic structure and an alcohol group (1-methylcyclopropan-1-ol). Therefore, this molecule cannot be produced by this reaction. (See figure 2)
The correct answer is 2.
In oxidation-reduction reactions (or redox reactions), a number of electrons are transferred between two species. During this process, the oxidation number of an atom (or molecule or ion) changes by receiving or losing an electron.
Atoms cannot physically get more compact (temperature lowering increases the space between atoms) At absolute zero, the atoms are as physically close together as allowed by the physical laws governing it.
When the dew point temperature and air temperature are equal, the air is said to be saturated. Dew point temperature is NEVER GREATER than the air temperature. Therefore, if the air cools, moisture must be removed from the air and this is accomplished through condensation.
