Identify the compounds A, B and C in the following reaction.



Compound A = CH3-MgBr


Compound B = CH3-COOH


Compound C =



EXPLAINATION:


CH3-Br reacts with the Grignard reagent and form CH3-MgBr.


CH3-MgBr then reacts with CO2 and water to form the corresponding carboxylic acid, CH3-COOH.


CH3-COOH is then heated in presence of CH2-OH/H+ to form.
