Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction of a Grignard reagent with acetone (a ketone) followed by acid hydrolysis yields a tertiary alcohol. The Grignard reagent adds to the carbonyl carbon of acetone, forming a new carbon-carbon bond, and the subsequent acid hydrolysis protonates the resulting alkoxide, yielding a tertiary alcohol.
