Question
Chapter 12, Problem 6PP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The mechanism of the given reaction is to be provided.
Concept introduction:
Carbonyl groups of esters react with two equivalents of Grignard reagents and followed by hydrolysis to produce tertiary alcohols. The initial product formed between Grignard reagent and carbonyl ester is unstable. This complex structure loses magnesium, bromine, and alkoxide to form a
