The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of what happens when `CH₃MgX` (a Grignard reagent) reacts with `CH₃C≡CH` (a terminal alkyne), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Reactants We have two reactants: 1. `CH₃MgX` - This is a Grignard reagent where `X` is a halogen (like Cl, Br, or I). 2. `CH₃C≡CH` - This is a terminal alkyne. ### Step 2: Understand the Reaction Mechanism Grignard reagents are strong nucleophiles and can react with electrophiles. In this case, the terminal alkyne has a hydrogen atom that is acidic due to the sp-hybridized carbon. ### Step 3: Nucleophilic Attack When `CH₃MgX` reacts with `CH₃C≡CH`, the nucleophilic carbon (from the Grignard reagent) will attack the hydrogen atom of the terminal alkyne. This leads to the formation of a new bond. ### Step 4: Formation of Products The following occurs: - The `H` from the terminal alkyne is removed and combines with the `CH₃` from `CH₃MgX` to form methane (`CH₄`). - The remaining part of the alkyne, after losing the hydrogen, will become a carbanion (`C≡C⁻`) which will then bond with `MgX` to form `CH₃C≡C-MgX`. ### Step 5: Final Products The final products of this reaction are: 1. Methane (`CH₄`) 2. A new Grignard compound (`CH₃C≡C-MgX`) ### Conclusion Thus, the treatment of `CH₃MgX` with `CH₃C≡CH` produces methane (`CH₄`) and a Grignard compound (`CH₃C≡C-MgX`).
