Correct answer: D
-
Identify the reactants
The reagent is a Grignard reagent. It behaves as a strong base as well as a nucleophile.
The other reactant is propyne:
This is a terminal alkyne, and terminal alkynes contain an acidic hydrogen.
-
Key concept: Grignard reagent + acidic hydrogen
Grignard reagents react with compounds containing acidic hydrogen atoms.
General reaction:
Here:
So the methyl group abstracts the acidic hydrogen from the terminal alkyne.
-
Write the reaction
Thus, the organic product formed from the Grignard reagent is methane.
-
Check the options
- A: → not formed
- B: → not formed directly here
- D: → formed
-
Final answer
The product is:
Hence, Option D is correct.
