[Chemistry] Grignard Lab question

Hello, can someone please kindly me help me with this question?

What would be the expected product if the Grignard reagent prepared is reacted with atompsheric oxygen? How would it be removed from the crude product?


Thank you very much!

The expected product of the Grignard reaction with atmospheric oxygen would be the formation of a primary alcohol. This is because the Grignard reagent, which is an organometallic compound, is a strong nucleophile and will react with the electrophilic oxygen in the air.

To remove the alcohol from the crude product, several methods can be used. One option is to perform a simple distillation, which will separate the alcohol from the rest of the reaction mixture. Another option is to use a drying agent, such as anhydrous magnesium sulfate, to remove any remaining water from the mixture. Alternatively, the alcohol can be extracted using a separatory funnel with a suitable solvent, such as diethyl ether. Overall, it is important to ensure that the alcohol is completely removed from the crude product to obtain a pure final product. I hope this helps!
