Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To convert carbon dioxide (CO₂) to acetic acid (CH₃COOH), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: React CO₂ with Methyl Magnesium Bromide - **Reaction**: CO₂ + CH₃MgBr (methyl magnesium bromide) → CH₃C(=O)O⁻MgBr⁺ - **Explanation**: The Grignard reagent (CH₃MgBr) acts as a nucleophile and attacks the electrophilic carbon of carbon dioxide. This leads to the formation of a carboxylate intermediate. ### Step 2: Formation of Carboxylate Intermediate - **Intermediate Structure**: CH₃C(=O)O⁻MgBr⁺ ...
