Vedclass · Answer

(C) Grignard reagents $(CH_3MgX)$ are strong bases and react with compounds containing active hydrogen atoms (like the hydroxyl group in alcohols) to form alkanes.In this reaction,the methyl group $(CH_3^-)$ from the Grignard reagent abstracts the acidic proton $(H^+)$ from the methanol $(CH_3OH)$ molecule.This results in the formation of methane $(CH_4)$ as the product $P$ and the corresponding magnesium salt $MgX(OCH_3)$.The reaction is: $CH_3OH + CH_3MgX \longrightarrow CH_4 + MgX(OCH_3)$.

Column-$I$ (Reagents)	Column-$II$ (Products)
$A$. $HCl + ZnCl_2$	$i$. $CH_3CH=CHCH_3$
$B$. $HBr$	$ii$. $CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2Cl$
$C$. $SOCl_2$	$iii$. $CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2Br$
$D$. $H_2SO_4, \Delta$	$iv$. $CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2Cl$

Identify the product $P$ of the following reaction:
$CH_3OH + CH_3MgX \longrightarrow P + MgX(OCH_3)$
