Question

The major product of the following reaction sequence is, $ \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CdCH}_{3} $, $ \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CHOH}\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{2} $, $ \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{COCH}_{3} $, $ \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{COOCH}_{3} $

Acyl chlorides upon treatment with Grignard reagent and a metal halide, yield ketones.For example, when cadmium chloride is reacted with the Grignard reagent, dialkylcadmium is formed. Dialkylcadmium thus formed is further reacted with acyl chlorides to form ketones. 3 CH 3 - CH 2 - CO - Cl + ( CH 3 ) 2 Cd → 2 CH 3 - CH 2 - CO - CH 3 + CdCl 2
