Step-by-step solution

Step-by-Step Solution Step 1: Definition of an organometallic compound

Organometallic compounds are those that consistof a minimum one carbon-metal (C-M) bond.The carbon and the metal bond formed are polar.

Function of an organometallic compound

They function both as a nucleophile and a base. They function as a nucleophile when you add them to any carbonyl compounds, carboxylic acids, and their derivatives. They act as a base when you add them to any acids, like water.

In the provided reactions, they act as a nucleophile where the negative charge of the carbon attacks the carbonyl carbon center.

They are highly stereoselective and can attack the stereo genic carbon center either from the back or the front.
