  3. C \(R_2 \mathrm{Cd}\) & \(R^{\prime} \mathrm{COCl}\)
  4. D \(R_2 \mathrm{MgCdCl}_2\) & \(R \mathrm{COO} R^{\prime}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(R_2 \mathrm{Cd}\) & \(R^{\prime} \mathrm{COCl}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Reaction of Grignard reagent with \(\mathrm{CdCl}_2\) gives an organocadmium compound which yield a ketone when treated with an acid chloride.
