Question

The reaction of  (A) with  in tetrahydrofuran gives inorganic benzene (B). Further, the reaction of (A) with (C) leads to . Compounds (B) and (C) respectively, are:

Canvas Classes · Accepted Answer

Reaction 1:

= Borazine (inorganic benzene) = B

Reaction 2:

The Cl atoms on B are replaced by methyl (Me) groups. This requires a Grignard reagent (organometallic):

C = MeMgBr (methylmagnesium bromide, a Grignard reagent)

Answer: Option (4) — Borazine and MeMgBr
