Vedclass · Answer

(D) Grignard reagents $(RMgX)$ are nucleophilic and readily undergo addition reactions with polar multiple bonds such as $C = O$,$-C \equiv N$,and $C = S$ groups.$1$. Reaction with $C = O$: $RMgX + >C = O$ $\rightarrow >C(R)-OMgX$ $\xrightarrow{H_2O} >C(R)-OH + Mg(OH)X$$2$. Reaction with $-C \equiv N$: $RMgX + -C \equiv N$ $\rightarrow -C(R) = NMgX$ $\xrightarrow{H_2O} -C(R) = O + NH_3 + Mg(OH)X$$3$. Reaction with $C = S$: $RMgX + >C = S$ $\rightarrow >C(R)-SMgX$ $\xrightarrow{H_2O} >C(R)-SH + Mg(OH)X$Since Grignard reagents react with all these groups,the correct option is $(D)$.
