The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of what product is formed when CH₃MgI (a Grignard reagent) reacts with acetone and is subsequently hydrolyzed, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactants**: - The Grignard reagent is CH₃MgI. - The other reactant is acetone, which has the formula CH₃COCH₃. 2. **Understand the Mechanism**: - The carbonyl carbon in acetone (C=O) is electrophilic due to the partial positive charge on it, while the methyl group (CH₃) in the Grignard reagent acts as a nucleophile because it has a partial negative charge. 3. **Nucleophilic Attack**: - The nucleophilic CH₃ from the Grignard reagent attacks the electrophilic carbon of the carbonyl group in acetone. This forms a tetrahedral intermediate: \[ \text{CH}_3\text{C(OH)(CH}_3)\text{(MgI)}^+ \] 4. **Formation of the Alkoxide Intermediate**: - The tetrahedral intermediate can be represented as: \[ \text{CH}_3\text{C(OH)(CH}_3)\text{(MgI)}^+ \] - Here, the oxygen becomes negatively charged (alkoxide ion). 5. **Hydrolysis**: - When this intermediate is hydrolyzed (reacted with water), the MgI part is removed, and the alkoxide ion is converted into an alcohol: \[ \text{CH}_3\text{C(OH)(CH}_3) + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{C(OH)(CH}_3) + \text{Mg(OH)I} \] 6. **Final Product**: - The final product is a tertiary alcohol, specifically: \[ \text{(CH}_3)_3\text{COH} \] - This compound is known as tert-butanol. 7. **Conclusion**: - The final product after the reaction and hydrolysis is (CH₃)₃COH, which corresponds to option number 4. ### Final Answer: The product formed is **(CH₃)₃COH** (tert-butanol). ---
