Understand the Problem

The question is asking for the products of a chemical reaction involving a specific organometallic compound (CH3MgBr) and an acid (H3O+) with a given organic structure. We need to analyze the reaction sequence and determine the final product based on the reagents provided.

Answer

3-methyl-2-pentanol.

The final answer is 3-methyl-2-pentanol.

Answer for screen readers

The final answer is 3-methyl-2-pentanol.

More Information

Grignard reagents add a carbon chain to a carbonyl group. In this reaction, CH3MgBr adds a methyl group to the ketone, resulting in 3-methyl-2-pentanol after hydrolysis.

Tips

Ensure the Grignard reagent attacks the electrophilic carbon. Remember to convert the O-MgBr to an alcohol through hydrolysis.
