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

The daughter isotope (a decay product)of O-15 = N-15(Nitrogen 15)
<h3>Further explanation </h3>Radioactivity is the process of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes by decay, by emitting certain particles,
- alpha α particles ₂He⁴
- beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles
- gamma particles γ
- positron particles ₁e⁰
O-15 emits positron particles ₁e⁰, so the atomic number decreases by 1, the mass number is the same
Reaction
The mass number of the daughter isotope = 15, atomic number = 7
If we look at the periodic system, the element with atomic number 7 is Nitrogen (N)
