Question
What is the action of Grignard reagent on benzonitrile?
Solution
Benzonitrile on reaction with the Grignard reagent in the dry ether as solvent followed by acid hydrolysis will form corresponding ketone derivative.
\[\begin{array}{cc}
\ce{\underset{\text{Benzonitrile}}{C6H5 - C ≡ N} + \underset{\text{Alkyl magnesium Ketone derivative halide (Grignard reagent)}}{RMgX} ->[dry ether] R - C = NMgX ->[H3O+] \underset{\text{Ketone derivative}}{RCO - C6H5} + NH3 + Mg(X)OH}\\
\phantom{........................}|\\
\phantom{............................}\ce{C6H5}
\end{array}\]
