Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

Grignard reagent gives addition reactions with compounds containing x $ C=O,-C\equiv N $ and $ C=S $ groups.
$ >\overset{R}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}}}-OH+Mg<\overset{OH}{\mathop{\underset{X}{\mathop{{}}}}} $

$ -\overset{R}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}}}=O+NH_3+Mg<\overset{OH}{\mathop{\underset{X}{\mathop{{}}}}} $

$ >\overset{R}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}}}-SH+Mg<\overset{OH}{\mathop{\underset{X}{\mathop{{}}}}} $
