The correct sequence of reagents for the following conversion will be

Figure

  • A
    CH3MgBr, H+/CH3OH, AgNH32+OH-
  • B
    CH3MgBr, AgNH32+OH-, H+/CH3OH
  • C
    AgNH32+OH-, CH3MgBr, H+/CH3OH
  • Correct answer
    D
    AgNH32+OH-, H+/CH3OH, CH3MgBr

Solution

The correct order of reagents for the following reaction is [Ag(NH3)2]+OH- , H+/CH3OH, CH3MgBr & the reaction as well as mechanism is as follows with the correct order of reagents.

The reaction involves SN2 mechanism at second step which on further reaction with excess CH3MgBr to give the final product.
