Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why Grignard reagent of C6H5Cl (chlorobenzene) can be prepared in THF (tetrahydrofuran) but not in ether, we can break down the explanation into several steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Grignard Reagents**: Grignard reagents are organomagnesium compounds, typically represented as R-Mg-X, where R is an organic group, and X is a halogen. In this case, the Grignard reagent derived from chlorobenzene (C6H5Cl) would be C6H5MgCl. 2. **Nature of Chlorobenzene**: ...
