Question

Grignard reagents do not show any reaction with
Options
A Alkoxyalkanes
Correct Answer
B Alkanones
C Alkyl alkanoates
D Acyl halides
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Grignard reagents (R-MgX) react with ketones (alkanones), esters (alkyl alkanoates), and acyl halides to form alcohols or ketones after hydrolysis. However, they do not react with ethers (alkoxyalkanes) under normal conditions.

Hint

Which functional group is generally unreactive towards Grignard reagents?
