Solution
The correct option is A Grignard reagent Magnesium can be reacted with alkyl halides or aryl halides to form Grignard reagents. The organic halide is added to a magnesium suspension in an dry ether solvent. It is important to note that the reagent can be made with alkyl chlorides, bromides, and iodides but not with fluorides. Thus, when 2-bromobutane react with magnesium in presence of dry diethylether, grignard reagent will be form. Hence correct option is a.
