Draw structural formulas for an aldehyde or ketone and alkyl (or aryl) bromide that could be used in a Grignard synthesis of the alcohol shown. - You do not have to consider stereochemistry. - If there is more than one combination, draw only one. - Draw one structure per sketcher. Add additional sketchers using the drop-down menu in the bottom right corner. - Separate structures with \( + \) signs from the drop-down menu.
Expert Answer
We see that the given structure of the desired product (2-Methyl-2-Pentanol) is a tertiary alcohol and thus if we need to synthesize this using by using a grignard reagent, we need to make use of a ketone and an alkyl bromide. The reaction scheme and
