Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The product of the reaction is II because the reactants (TiCl4 and Mg) are undergoing a classic Grignard reaction, where the magnesium acts as a nucleophile and attacks the electrophilic carbon of the TiCl4. This results in the formation of a new carbon-carbon bond and the formation of the Grignard reagent (MgClTiCl3). Option B (MgClTiCl3) is therefore the correct product.
