Preparing Benzoic Acid Using Grignard Reagents
Introduction Grignard reaction is vital to organic C-C bond formation. The organohalide reacts with Mg metal to form the Grignard reagent, alkyl magnesium halide (Pietrasiak & Lee, 2022). Figure 1 shows the halide reduced and magnesium oxidized in the redox reaction under ether. Figure 1: A depiction of the formation of a Grignard reagent An electron is transported ... Read More
