(a)
Interpretation:
The way by which the given alcohol is prepared by treating an ester with a Grignard reagent has to be shown.
Concept introduction:
Alkyl or aryl magnesium halides
Reaction of Grignard reagent with a formic ester followed by hydrolysis in aqueous acid yields secondary alcohol. Tertiary alcohol can be prepared by the reaction of Grignard reagent with ester.
(b)
Interpretation:
The way by which the given alcohol is prepared by treating an ester with a Grignard reagent has to be shown.
Concept introduction:
Alkyl or aryl magnesium halides
Reaction of Grignard reagent with a formic ester followed by hydrolysis in aqueous acid yields secondary alcohol. Tertiary alcohol can be prepared by the reaction of Grignard reagent with ester other than formate.
