Best Answer

you react the grignard with either an ester, an acid chloride or a ketone to get a tertiary alchohol. if you react a grignard reagent with an aldehyde you get a secondary alcohol and if you react the grignard with formaldehyde (methenal) you get a primary alchohol. same thing happens if u use R-Li instead of a grignard reagant.

How do you detect benzene in the Grignard synthesis of benzoic acid?

Not sure what you mean... If you mean 'how is benzene used for the Grignard synthesis of Benzoic Acid,' then the answer is, bromobenzene (C6H5Br) is turned into phenyl Grignard (C6H5MgBr) by the addition of Magnesium in ether, and then dry ice (solid CO2) is added to the reaction mixture to make Benzoate (C6H5COO-), which is the conjugate base of Benzoic Acid. That has got to help you somehow.

Is an alcohol better leaving group than cyano group?

Although cyano isn't a very good leaving group (it IS a fantastic nucleophile, however), it is still better than an alcohol. The only way you can make an alcohol a good leaving group is to activate it somehow. Methods range from simple protonation (making [H-OH]+ - water) in an acidic environment, to tosyl-/mesylation to make OTs/OMs, to activation with a phosphorous reagent, etc.
