I've been doing a couple of lab experiments on Grignard principals, but I have trouble understanding each step.
For example, I added aqueous ammoniumchloride and ice to hydrolyze the mixture of acetone and isopropylbromide. Is this called protonation, if the ammonium gives up a hydrogen atom as the bond to its compound breaks?
What would then happen if ammoniumchloride was to be replaced by concentrated sulphuric acid? Would I not get alcohol as the product? Why or why not?
I can't understand this based on what my textbook says...
