Chapter 20, Problem 20.77P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of the product formed on reaction with ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\text{MgBr}$ followed by ${\text{H}}_2\text{O}$ and the mechanism illustrating the formation is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The method of spectroscopy is used to identify the structure of the molecule. It is based on the interactions between matter and electromagnetic radiations. Proton NMR spectroscopy identifies the number of hydrogen atoms present in a molecule and the nature of the functional group. The value of chemical peaks depends upon the chemical environment around the hydrogen atom.
