Correct answer: D
- Identify compound (A)
The given compound is This is trichloroborazine, a borazine ring in which the three boron atoms carry chlorine substituents.
Borazine itself is: called inorganic benzene.
- Reaction of (A) with in THF
is a hydride donor and reduces the bonds to bonds.
So, which is the same as This compound is borazine, known as inorganic benzene.
Hence,
- Reaction of (A) to form
We need to replace the three chlorine atoms attached to boron by methyl groups.
That means we need a reagent that can provide a nucleophilic methyl group, i.e. effectively . Such substitution on boron is done by Grignard reagent:
The reaction is:
So,
- Match with options
We found:
- Borazine
- MeMgBr
This corresponds to:
Option D: Borazine and MeMgBr
- Comparison with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer = D
Our derived answer = D
So the answer agrees with the stored correct answer.
