Alkyl halides react in anhydrous ether with magnesium to form alkyl magnesium halides known as
Correct answer: A. Grignard reagent
- A. Grignard reagent
- B. Wolf-kishner reagent
- C. Clemmensen reagent
- D. None of these
Explanation
Alkyl halides react with magnesium in anhydrous ether to form alkyl magnesium halides known as Grignard reagents. This reaction is a well-established method for the synthesis of Grignard reagents, which are versatile intermediates in organic synthesis. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct product formed by the reaction of alkyl halides with magnesium.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
