Chemistry · Carboxylic Acids: Acidic strength and factors affecting it
Carboxylic acids may be prepared by the reaction of Grignard reagents with:
Carboxylic acids may be prepared by the reaction of Grignard reagents with:
- A. \( C O_{2} \)
- B. \( C O \)
- C. Formaldehyde
- D. Formic acid
Step-by-step solution
Grignard reagents react with carbon dioxide to form a magnesium carboxylate, which upon acidic workup yields a carboxylic acid. This is a standard method for preparing carboxylic acids with one more carbon than the Grignard reagent.
