AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Reaction The question states that an etherial solution of an organic compound 'X' when heated with magnesium gives 'Y'. This suggests that 'X' is likely a halogenated organic compound that can react with magnesium to form a Grignard reagent. ### Step 2: Identifying Compound 'X' A common halogenated compound that can be used in this context is methyl bromide (CH₃Br). When methyl bromide reacts with magnesium in dry ether, it forms methyl magnesium bromide (CH₃MgBr), which is the Grignard reagent. ...
