g 1. Write a mechanism for the Grignard reaction of benzophenone with phenylmagnesium bromide. Be as complete as possible and sh
1 answer:
Answer:
See explanation and image attached
Explanation:
The reaction between benzophenone and phenylmagnesium bromide is a Grignard reaction.
A Grignard reagent is any alkyl magnesium halide compound. In this case, the Grignard reagent is phenylmagnesium bromide.
Reaction of Grignard reagent with a ketone yields all alcohol. Thus, the reaction of benzophenone with phenylmagnesium bromide yields triphenyl methanol.
The mechanism of the reaction and all electron movements are shown in the image attached to this answer.
