Grignard reagents react rapidly with acidic hydrogen atoms in molecules such as alcohols and water to produce alkanes.
A) Grignard reagents react rapidly with acidic hydrogen atoms in molecules such as alcohols and water. When a Grignard reagent reacts with water, a proton replaces the halogen, and the product is an alkane. The Grignard reagent therefore provides a pathway for converting a haloalkane to an alkane in two steps.
B) Though we typically want them to do nucleophilic addition to something, these powerful bases tend to go for protons -- a faster reaction -- if there is just about anything that might make the proton vulnerable. Attaching the proton to an electronegative atom like nitrogen is enough, so primary and even secondary amines will react like that with Grignard reagents. We just deprotonate the amine, the hydrocarbon part of the Grignard reagent ends up an an alkane .
C) We recall that alkynes are more acidic than alkanes. Therefore, the acid–base reaction of an alkyne with a readily available Grignard reagent gives a Grignard reagent of the alkyne. This alkynide ion of the Grignard reagent reacts with carbonyl compounds.
Hence , option D is correct.
