Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The kind of alcohol formed by the reaction of ethyl formate with Grignard reagent and diethyl carbonate with Grignard reagent are to be predicted and the reason for the formation is to be explaned.

Concept Introduction:

The general steps involved in the formation of alcohol from ester are as follows:

The first step is the nucleophilic attack of first equivalent of Grignard reagent.

The second step involves the removal of leaving group.

The next step is the nucleophilic attack of second equivalent of Grignard reagent.

The last step is the protonation.
