Vedclass · Answer

(A) The reaction involves the reaction of an ester with a Grignard reagent. $CH_3CO_2Et$ reacts with the bifunctional Grignard reagent $(CH_2)_5(MgBr)_2$. First,one end of the Grignard reagent attacks the carbonyl carbon of the ester,displacing the ethoxide group to form a ketone intermediate: $CH_3-C(=O)-(CH_2)_5-MgBr$. Next,the second Grignard end (intramolecularly) attacks the newly formed ketone carbonyl group. This forms a cyclic alkoxide intermediate,which upon acidic workup $(H^+)$ yields the cyclic tertiary alcohol,$1-methylcyclohexanol$.
