Chapter 19, Problem 19.30(choose chapter or problem)
(a) Unlike other esters which react with Grignard reagents to give tertiary alcohols, ethyl formate (HCOCH2CH3) O X yields a different class of alcohols on treatment with Grignard reagents. What kind of alcohol is formed in this case and why? (b) Diethyl carbonate (CH3CH2OCOCH2CH3) O X reacts with excess Grignard reagent to yield alcohols of a particular type. What is the structural feature that characterizes alcohols prepared in this way?
