(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.

- Show how each alcohol or diol can be prepared from an alkene. (a) 2-Pentanol (b) 1-Pentanol (c) 2-Methyl-2-pentanol (d) 2-Methyl-2-butanol (e) 3-Pentanol (f) 3-Ethyl-3-pentanol (g) 1,2-Hexanediolarrow_forwardAcetals are formed from the reaction of two alcohols with a carbonyl under acidic conditions. Acetal formation is faster with 1,2-ethanediol than with two methanol molecules. Choose the factor that explains the difference in reaction rates. A) The reaction with 1,2-ethanediol has a lower AH (enthalpy) of reaction. B) The reaction with 1,2-ethanediol has a higher AH (enthalpy) of reaction. C) The reaction with 1,2-ethanediol has a more favorable entropy of reaction.arrow_forwardHow Enols React ?arrow_forward
