With which of the following Grignard reagent reacts to form alkanes?
Correct answer: D. All of these
- A. Ammonia
- B. Water
- C. Methanol
- D. All of these
Explanation
Gignard reagents, represented as RMgX, are highly reactive organometallic compounds. When they react with various proton sources, such as water (H2O), alcohols (ROH), or amines (RNH2), they undergo a process known as protonation and subsequent elimination of magnesium halide. This reaction leads to the formation of alkanes. Therefore, option d is 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.
