Vedclass · Answer

(D) Grignard reagents $(RMgX)$ are highly reactive organometallic compounds. They require a polar aprotic solvent that can act as a Lewis base to stabilize the magnesium atom through coordination. $A$,$B$,and $C$ are ethers,which are polar aprotic solvents capable of coordinating with the magnesium center,thus stabilizing the Grignard reagent. $D$ (Cyclohexane) is a non-polar hydrocarbon solvent. It lacks the lone pairs of electrons necessary to coordinate with and stabilize the magnesium atom in the Grignard reagent. Therefore,it is not a suitable solvent for the Grignard reaction.

Which of the following compounds is not a suitable solvent for a Grignard reaction?
