The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question regarding the formation of tertiary alcohol from an ester using Grignard reagents, we will analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Assertion The assertion states that "Two moles of Grignard reagent are consumed in the formation of tertiary alcohol from ester followed by hydrolysis." 1. **Grignard Reagent and Ester Reaction**: When a Grignard reagent (R''MgX) reacts with an ester (R'COOR), it first attacks the carbonyl carbon of the ester. This results in the formation of a tetrahedral intermediate. 2. **Formation of Ketone**: The first mole of Grignard reagent adds to the ester, resulting in a ketone (R'COR'') after the intermediate collapses. 3. **Second Addition of Grignard Reagent**: The second mole of Grignard reagent then attacks the ketone, leading to the formation of a tertiary alcohol after hydrolysis. ### Step 2: Understanding the Reason The reason states that "One mole of Grignard reagent converts ester into ketone and the second mole of Grignard reagent adds to the ketone." 1. **First Mole of Grignard Reagent**: The first mole indeed converts the ester into a ketone. 2. **Second Mole of Grignard Reagent**: The second mole adds to the ketone, resulting in the formation of a tertiary alcohol upon hydrolysis. ### Step 3: Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are true. Furthermore, the reason provides a correct explanation for the assertion. Therefore, we conclude that both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A. ### Final Answer Assertion (A) is true, and Reason (R) is true. R is the correct explanation of A. ---
