action of grignard reagent with amide
« on: December 17, 2011, 09:41:20 AM »
what is the mechanism behind reaction between grignard reagent and amide? does it form an alkane?

No, alkanes are not formed.

The product depends on the amide; primary and secondary amides react differently compared to tertiary amides.

What do you think would happen if you treated a primary or secondary amide with a Grignard?

For tertiary amides, the mechanism begins in an analogous fashion to the reaction of an ester with a Grignard. Hint: Weinrieb amide
