Majorr product? ### Ketone Reduction MechanismThis diagram illustrates a typical organic chemistry reaction involving the reduction of a ketone using organolithium reagents. Below is a detailed explanation of the components and steps:#### Reactants and Reagents1. **Reactant Structure:** - The reactant is a compound with an ester functional group (R-O-C(=O)-R') and a ketone functional group (R'-C(=O)-R''). - Specific structure: ethyl isobutyrate.2. **Reagents and Conditions:** - **Step 1**: Ethyl Lithium (EtLi) in excess, in diethyl ether (Et₂O) as the solvent. - **Step 2**: Water (H₂O) for quenching.#### Explanation of the Reaction Steps1. **Addition of Ethyl Lithium (EtLi):** - Ethyl lithium acts as a strong nucleophile and base, attacking the electrophilic carbonyl carbon of the ester group. - The step is performed in an anhydrous ether solvent (Et₂O) to prevent any reaction with water.2. **Quenching with Water (H₂O):** - The reaction mixture is treated with water to neutralize any remaining reactive species. This step helps in the final workup and isolation of the product.This reaction sequence typically leads to the reduction of the ester to an alcohol and further reaction due to the excess of ethyl lithium.
