What is a Lewis acid-base reaction?

In the Lewis theory of acid-base reactions, bases donate pairs of electrons and acids accept pairs of electrons.

A Lewis acid is therefore any substance, such as the H+ ion, that can accept a pair of nonbonding electrons. In other words, a Lewis acid is an electron-pair acceptor.

A Lewis base is any substance, such as the OH- ion, that can donate a pair of nonbonding electrons. A Lewis base is therefore an electron-pair donor.

The Lewis theory suggests that acids react with bases to share a pair of electrons, with no change in the oxidation numbers of any atoms.

Draw the mechanism for the addition of methylmagnesium bromide to propanoyl chloride (CH3CH2COCl) to give 2-methyl-2-butanol.

Ghella [55]

Answer:

Reaction mechanism has been given below

Explanation:

Propanoyl chloride contains an electrophilic carbonyl center to give nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction by removing Cl group with a strong nucleophile like methylmagnesium bromide.
Two equivalent of methyl magnesium bromide react with cabonyl center followed by protonation of negatively charged oxygen atom gives 2-methyl-2-butanol.
In the first step, nucleophilic acyl substituion occurs. In the second step, nucleophilic addition occurs. In the third step, protonation occurs.
Reaction mechanism has been shown below.
