The reaction of (R'-underset(O)underset(...

The reaction of `(R'-underset(O)underset(||)(C )-Cl)` with `(R_(2)Cd)` or with `(R_(2)CuLi)` gives a ketone but with `(RMgX)` gives a `3^(@)` alcohol `(R_(2)R'COH)`.
Statement 2: `(C-Mg)` bond has more ionic character than `(C-Cu)` or `(C-Cd)` bond abd (R ) group in Grignard reagent is more like `R^(overset(..)(ɵ))` and is much more reactive for nuleophilic addition reaction.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will analyze the reactions of an acid chloride with different organometallic reagents and explain the outcomes based on the nature of the bonds involved. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactants**: We start with an acid chloride, which can be represented as R'-C(=O)-Cl. In this case, we can take a specific example like CH3C(=O)-Cl (acetyl chloride). 2. **Reactions with Organometallic Reagents**: - **With R2Cd or R2CuLi**: - When the acid chloride reacts with an organocadmium reagent (R2Cd) or an organocuprate reagent (R2CuLi), the nucleophile (R2) attacks the carbonyl carbon of the acid chloride. - This results in the formation of a ketone (R'-C(=O)-R2) after the chloride ion leaves. The reaction stops at the ketone stage because these reagents are less nucleophilic compared to Grignard reagents. - **With RMgX (Grignard Reagent)**: - When the acid chloride reacts with a Grignard reagent (RMgX), the carbon in the Grignard reagent acts as a strong nucleophile due to the high ionic character of the C-Mg bond. - The nucleophile attacks the carbonyl carbon, leading to the formation of a tetrahedral intermediate. After the chloride ion leaves, we end up with a tertiary alcohol (R2R'-COH) upon hydrolysis. 3. **Understanding Ionic Character**: - The statement mentions that the C-Mg bond has more ionic character than the C-Cd or C-Cu bonds. This is significant because the greater ionic character means that the carbon atom in the Grignard reagent behaves more like a carbanion, making it a stronger nucleophile. - The electropositivity of magnesium compared to cadmium and copper contributes to this increased ionic character. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, we conclude that the reaction of acid chlorides with R2Cd or R2CuLi leads to ketones, while the reaction with Grignard reagents leads to tertiary alcohols due to the higher nucleophilicity of the Grignard reagent. - The statements provided in the question are correct and the explanation regarding the ionic character of the C-Mg bond supports the observed outcomes. ### Final Answer: The answer is that the reaction of R'-C(=O)-Cl with R2Cd or R2CuLi gives a ketone, while with RMgX it gives a tertiary alcohol. Statement 2 correctly explains the reason for this difference in reactivity.

To solve the problem, we will analyze the reactions of an acid chloride with different organometallic reagents and explain the outcomes based on the nature of the bonds involved. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactants**: We start with an acid chloride, which can be represented as R'-C(=O)-Cl.
