Vedclass · Answer

(D) The reaction of a Grignard reagent $(RMgX)$ with ethylene oxide (epoxide) involves the nucleophilic attack of the $R^-$ group on one of the carbon atoms of the epoxide ring,leading to ring opening.$RMgX + CH_2-CH_2(O) 	o R-CH_2-CH_2-OMgX$Subsequent hydrolysis of the intermediate alkoxide yields a primary alcohol:$R-CH_2-CH_2-OMgX + H_2O 	o R-CH_2-CH_2-OH + Mg(OH)X$Thus,the final product is $RCH_2CH_2OH$.

What is the product obtained when the reaction of $CH_2-CH_2$ (epoxide) with $RMgX$ is followed by hydrolysis?
