Chapter 15, Problem 15.17(choose chapter or problem)
One of the most important uses for Grignard reagents is their addition to carbonyl compounds to give new carbon-carbon bonds (Section 16.5). In this reaction, the carbon of the organometallic compound acts as a nucleophile to add to the positive carbon of the carbonyl. O 1. C6H5MgBr 2. H3O+ (racemic) OH C6H5 (a) Give a mechanism for the fi rst step of the reaction. (b) Explain the function of the acid in the second step.
