Solution
The correct option is C3∘ alcohol 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. Grignard reagent can act as a nucleophile. It undergoes nucleophilic addition when reacts with carbonyl compounds.
