Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both A and D will result in the formation of a secondary alcohol in good yield. In reaction A, the Grignard reagent will attack the carbonyl carbon of the ketone to form a tertiary alcohol, but this will undergo acid-catalyzed dehydration to form the desired secondary alcohol. In reaction D, the alkene will undergo hydroboration-oxidation to form the desired secondary alcohol.
