Which of the following species represent organometallic compounds:

(a)BrMgC≡CCH2CH3 ; (b) NaOCH2CH3 ; (c)KOC(CH3)3 ; (d) PhLi?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

(a)BrMgC ≡CCH2CH3 and (d)PhLi represent an organometallic compound.

Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step Solution Step 1: Definition of an organometallic compound

The one or multiple carbon-metal bond(s)-containing compounds are designated as organimetallic compounds. Examples of these compounds are as follows:

  • Organolithium
  • Grignard reagent
  • Organomagnesium
02

Definition of metallic bases

Metallic bases are bases that form from the reaction between a base, such as NaOH or KOH, and an acid.Bases such as sodium and potassium alkoxides represent such metallic bases.

So, from the given definitions, it is observed that :

(a) BrMgC ≡CCH2CH3 and (d)PhLi represents an organometallic compound.

(b)NaOCH2CH3 and (c) KOC(CH3)3do not represent an organometallic compound.

Hence, (a) BrMgC ≡CCH2CH3 and (d)PhLi represents an organometallic compound.

Question: Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) has received much recent attention because the lactic acid monomer [CH3CH(OH)COOH ] from which it is made can be obtained from carbohydrates rather than petroleum. This makes PLA a more “environmentally friendly” polyester. (A more in-depth discussion of green polymer synthesis is presented in Chapter 30.) Draw the structure of PLA.
