How do we get C6H5-CO-CH3 from C6H5-MgBr

Accepted Answer

Sure! To obtain C6H5-CO-CH3 from C6H5-MgBr, you can react the Grignard reagent (C6H5-MgBr) with acetyl chloride (CH3COCl) in an addition-elimination reaction. This reaction proceeds via nucleophilic attack of the Grignard reagent on the carbonyl group of acetyl chloride, followed by elimination of magnesium chloride (MgCl2) to yield the desired product, C6H5-CO-CH3.
