Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Two ways of synthesis for the given compound has to be given choosing the reagents.

Concept Introduction:

Substitution reaction that was employed for synthesizing alcohol is ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{1}$ and ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{2}$ reactions.

Addition reactions are the one that employs an unsaturated compound as starting material.

Grignard Reaction:

Ketones and aldehydes react with Grignard reagent to form larger alcohols as alkyl groups are introduced from the Grignard reagent.

When a ketone or an aldehyde is attacked by a Grignard reagent, an alcohol is formed and an example for this reaction is given below,
