  • \(\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{OD}\)
  • \(\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{OH}\)
  • \(\text{C}_6\text{H}_6\)
  • \(\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{D}\)
Show Solution

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Identify the Grignard reaction with D\(_2\)O.
Grignard reagents (RMgBr) react with deuterium oxide as a deuterium source: the C-Mg bond is replaced by a C-D bond via protonolysis (deuterolysis).

Step 2: Write the product.
C\(_6\)H\(_5\)MgBr \(+\) D\(_2\)O \(\to\) C\(_6\)H\(_5\)D \(+\) Mg(OD)Br.
\[ \boxed{C_6H_5D} \]
