Which of the following compound is formed when NaCI reacts with CH3MgBr?
Correct answer: B. CH3Cl
- A. CH3CN
- B. CH3Cl
- C. CH3CH2NH2
- D. None of these options are correct
Explanation
OPTION A: CH3CN is not formed when NaCl reacts with CH3MgBr.OPTION B: CH3Cl is formed when NaCl reacts with CH3MgBr. This reaction is known as the Grignard reaction and it involves the formation of a Grignard reagent (CH3MgBr) which acts as a nucleophile and reacts with NaCl to form CH3Cl.OPTION C: CH3CH2NH2 is not formed when NaCl reacts with CH3MgBr.OPTION D: This option can not be correct.

About Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are named and related to their carbon-halogen structure, polarity and reactivity. The key reactions are nucleophilic substitution by SN1 and SN2 mechanisms and elimination by E1 and E2 mechanisms, including how substrate structure, nucleophile, base, solvent and temperature influence substitution versus elimination.
