What is the product of the following reaction?
Tap to reveal answer
The reaction uses a Grignard reagent's nucleophilic carbon to attack the carbon in carbon dioxide. Following treatment with water the resulting molecule (a carboxylate anion, of the form
) the carboxylate oxygen will be protonated, and the result is a carboxylic acid. Thus, the resulting molecule is a benzene ring with a carboxyl group attached (this is also known as benzoic acid).
