Correct answer: A
-
Key idea: reaction of aldehydes with one equivalent of Grignard reagent
Grignard reagents () add to the carbonyl group of aldehydes:
So, in general, an aldehyde gives an alcohol after hydrolysis.
-
When will an aldehyde not give the normal Grignard addition product?
If the aldehyde contains any acidic hydrogen such as:
- (in some contexts proton transfer issues)
then the Grignard reagent is destroyed by acid-base reaction before nucleophilic addition can occur.
For example:
Thus, aldehydes containing acidic groups do not form the expected Grignard product with one equivalent of Grignard reagent.
-
Identify the problematic aldehydes
Among the given compounds (B, C, D referred to in the options), the standard interpretation of this question is that:
- B contains an acidic hydrogen group, so it will not give Grignard addition product.
- D also contains an acidic hydrogen group, so it will not give Grignard addition product.
- C does not prevent Grignard addition with one equivalent.
-
Therefore
The aldehydes which will not form Grignard product with one equivalent Grignard reagent are:
-
Matching with options
- Option A: and ✅
- Option B: and ❌
- Option C: and ❌
- Option D: and ❌
Hence, the correct option is A.
