Solution :

A Grignard compound or a Grignard reagent is defined as a chemical compound having a generic formula of R−Mg−X.

Here, X = halogen

R = organic group

The Grignard reagents are obtained by treating the organic halide with a magnesium metal.

In the context, when trans-1-bromo-1-butene is reacted with magnesium, a Grignard reagent is produced.

When this Grignard reagent is reacted with an ethanol, the following product is obtained in the attachment :
