Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The three different Grignard syntheses for $\text{3-methyl-3-hexanol}$ are to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Grignard reagents are organometallic compounds which are prepared using alkyl halides in the presence of magnesium metal in dry ether. These reagents act as strong nucleophiles and bases. Grignard reagents reagent reacts with a ketone to form tertiary alcohol.
