Question

Draw the structures of a Grignard reagent and the corresponding carbonyl compound that could be used to prepare the secondary alcohol shown, using a Grignard reaction approach.

The image depicts a chemical structure and two labeled boxes. The structure shown on the left represents 3-methyl-3-pentanol, an alcohol. 

To the right of the structure, there are two empty labeled boxes:
1. "Carbonyl compound" - This box suggests an area for identifying the carbonyl compound used in a reaction to produce the given alcohol.
2. "Grignard reagent" - This box indicates a space for specifying the Grignard reagent involved in the synthesis of the alcohol.

These boxes likely represent roles in a synthesis reaction where Grignard reagents react with carbonyl compounds to form alcohols.
