Solution

Phenylmagnesium bromide (C6H5MgBr) reacts with deuterium oxide (D2O) in a Grignard reaction. The Grignard reagent (Phenylmagnesium bromide) is a very strong base and it can abstract a proton from water to form a hydroxide ion. However, in this case, it abstracts a deuterium from D2O to form a deuteride ion.

The reaction is as follows:

C6H5MgBr + D2O -> C6H5D + Mg(OH)Br

The product is deuterated benzene (C6H5D) and magnesium hydroxide bromide (Mg(OH)Br).

The chemical structure of the products are:

  1. Deuterated benzene (C6H5D): It is similar to benzene, but one of the hydrogen atoms is replaced by a deuterium atom.

  2. Magnesium hydroxide bromide (Mg(OH)Br): It consists of a magnesium atom bonded to a hydroxide group and a bromide ion.

Please note that this is a simplified explanation and the actual reaction mechanism is more complex.
