Title: Drawing two products of a reaction
Post by: peachygirl4444 on April 09, 2008, 11:02:20 PM

Hi, everyone....I was wondering if someone could help me with drawing the products of the following two reactions

1. CH3CH2MgBr in ether + PhC(=O)OH

2. PhC(=0)CH3 + I2/-OH

Thanks.

First reaction : the product for the first reaction is ethane. The grignard reagents are sensitive to acids and even to moistures so we have to perform this reaction in N2 atmosphere. CH3CH2- anion picks ups a proton from acid.

Second reaction: the product is benzoic acid and iodoform
