The correct sequence of reagents for the following conversion will be
Options
- ACH 3 MgBr ,   H + / CH 3 OH ,   Ag NH 3 2 + OH -
- BCH 3 MgBr ,   Ag NH 3 2 + OH - ,  H + / CH 3 OH
- CAg NH 3 2 + OH - ,   CH 3 MgBr ,   H + / CH 3 OH
- DAg NH 3 2 + OH - ,   H + / CH 3 OH ,   CH 3 MgBr
Correct answer
D. Ag NH 3 2 + OH - ,   H + / CH 3 OH ,   CH 3 MgBr
Step-by-step solution
The correct order of reagents for the following reaction is [ Ag ( NH 3 ) 2 ] + OH -   ,   H + / CH 3 OH ,   CH 3 MgBr & the reaction as well as mechanism is as follows with the correct order of reagents. The reaction involves SN 2 mechanism at second step which on further reaction with excess CH 3 MgBr to give the final product.
