Zerevitinov’s method for estimating active hydrogen in an organic compound relies on its reaction with which reagent?

1. Na
2. CH3MgI
3. Zn
4. Al

Correct answer: CH3MgI

Solution

Zerevitinov’s method utilizes CH3MgI, a Grignard reagent, to react with active hydrogen in organic compounds, allowing for the quantification of hydrogen atoms that can participate in such reactions.
