In: Chemistry
there are 2 kinds of carbonyl acceptor structures in addition to benzoate esters that can be used in the reaction with phenylmagnesium bromide in order to produce triphenylmethanol. Also they react with a different number of equivalents of the Grignard Reagent. What are the carbonyl acceptors? please draw structure
In addition to benzoate ester the other two kinds of carbonyl acceptors that reaction with Phenyl magnesium bromide (PhMgBr) to yield Triphenylmethanol are,
1)Benzophenone:
Benzophenone on treatment with just 1 mole equivalent of PhMgBr and subsequent acid hydrolysis yields Triphenylmethanol.
2)Benzoyl chloride:
Benzoyl chloride on treatment with 2 mole equivalents of PhMgBr and on subsequent acid hydrolysis gives Triphenylmethanol.
Benzoyl chloride with first mole of PhMgBr forms Benzophenone which reacts immediately with anathor mole of PhMgBr to form Mg complex that on acid hydrolysis yields a final product Triphenylmethanol.
Reactions for all carbonyl acceptors shown here i.e. Benzoate ester (Ethyl benzoate), Benzophenone, Benzoyl chloride.
