What is/are the principal product(s) formed when excess methylmagnesium iodide reacts with p-hydroxyacetophenone?
1 answer:
The end product will depend upon
a) the amount of the reagent taken
b) the final treatment of the reaction
If we have just taken methylmagnesium iodide and p-hydroxyacetophenone, then we will get methane and hydroxyl group substituted with MgI in place of hydrogen
Figure 1
However if we have taken excess of methylmagnesium iodide which is Grignard's reagent followed by hydrolysis we will get different product

<h3>What is ozonolysis?</h3>Ozonolysis is a reaction used in organic chemistry to determine the position of a carbon-carbon double bond in unsaturated compounds.
i. The given alkene X, that is subject to ozonolysis would be 2-methyl-2-pentene. Upon exposure to ozone, an ozonide is initially formed, after which it is broken down into 2 products - acetone and propanal, both with the molecular formula C₃H₆O.
The given compound X is 2-methyl pent-2-ene. When it is reacted with ozone it forms an ozonide in the first step. In the second step the reduce to forms acetone and propanal.
ii. The formulas of Y is and Z is
. They are functional isomers as they have the same molecular formula but different functional groups - ketone and aldehyde.
iii. When alkenes undergo catalytic hydrogenation, they form alkanes, X will form 2 methyl petane on reaction with hydrogen gas in presence of Ni.
iv. The ozonolysis is used for the industrial-scale synthesis of pharmaceuticals.
v. The unsaturation of compound X can be proved by the bromine water test. As on reaction with it, the brown colour of bromine water becomes colourless due to the formation of dibromo alkane.
