Which of the following is an organometallic compound?
- A \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COONa}\)
- B \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{MgBr}\)
- C \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COO}\right)_2 \mathrm{Ca}\)
- D \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{ONa}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{MgBr}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{MgBr}\) is considered as an
organometallic compound because it contains a direct bond between a carbon atom and a metal atom (magnesium). Organometallic compounds contains at least one carbon-metal bond.
They can participate in variety of reactions and often used as reagents or catalysts in organic synthesis.
