Methyl group

Vedclass · Answer

(A) Grignard reagents $(RMgX)$ are strong nucleophiles and strong bases. They react readily with acidic protons,such as those found in the $ -COOH$ group,to form an alkane and a carboxylate salt. However,a simple $ -CH_3$ group (methyl group),a magnesium atom,or a halogen atom (when part of an alkyl halide) do not possess acidic protons or electrophilic centers that would undergo a characteristic reaction with a Grignard reagent in the same way. Among the given options,the methyl group $( -CH_3)$ is chemically inert towards Grignard reagents.
