The Grignard reagent is prepared from the halide shown in dry ether. Each reaction is followed by $H X_{3} O X^{+}$ work-up. Select all correct statements.

AReaction with water gives methoxybenzene (anisole).
BReaction with $CO X_{2}$ gives 4-methoxybenzoic acid.
CReaction with propanone gives a secondary alcohol.
DReaction with ethylene oxide gives 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethanol.

Answer: A, B, D

The aryl Grignard (4-methoxyphenylmagnesium bromide) is protonated by water to give anisole, adds to CO2 to give 4-methoxybenzoic acid, and opens ethylene oxide to give 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethanol. Acetone is a ketone and gives a tertiary alcohol, not a secondary one, so that statement is wrong.
