11Wat does the rxn b/w an alcohol and a grignard reagent give?? In general, will there be any rxn between a grignard product and grignard reagent???
Can sum1 simplify Organic 4 me please[2]
I guessed the answer but dont have a perfect Xplanation

11sky, since R is 30, won't the carbocation be more stable??
11back side attack??? that sounds ominous....
anyway, wat's the answer to my quesion??
1pehli baat toh yeh hai.. ki three degree cabocation form hi nahi hoga...
grinard follows SN2 => backside attack which is impossible in 3deg carbocation.
1The alcohol contains acidic hydrogen,which will be removed by the grignard reagent,so the product will be benzene
1grignard reagent with any compound containing active hydrogen (H2O,ROH,NH3 etc)
forms a hydrocarbon
HENCE THE ANSWER IS BENZENE
option B
1ThanQ frns
I jus completely forgot abt this thread
Yup the answer is B Benzene.

1@ sky no need to complicate this as much as you have done,even if R was primary ,only benzene will be formed,nothing related to Sn1 or Sn2 as long as there is an acidic hydrogen
1basically think of an acid base reaction guys don't think too much.
the grignard always acts as a base . try to find an acidic roton in the molecule then if you've found one put that with R . if not , then think of SN2 or whatever.
