Why Grignard reagents are not used in place of dialkyl cadmium during the preparation of ketones from acid chlorides ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Reactants**: - We start with an acid chloride (RCOCl) and want to prepare a ketone. The common reagents for this transformation are dialkyl cadmium (R2Cd) and Grignard reagents (RMgX). 2. **Role of Dialkyl Cadmium**: - When dialkyl cadmium is used, it reacts with the acid chloride to form a ketone (R-C(=O)-R'). The reaction proceeds smoothly without any side reactions, as cadmium does not react further with the ketone product. ...
