The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the reaction sequence step by step. The reaction involves an alpha-beta unsaturated carbonyl compound and a Grignard reagent, followed by an acid workup. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Starting Material**: The starting material is given as C₆H₅-CH=CH-CO-CH₃. This is an alpha-beta unsaturated carbonyl compound (specifically, it's an enone). 2. **Add the Grignard Reagent**: The Grignard reagent provided is CH₃MgBr. Grignard reagents act as strong nucleophiles and will attack electrophilic centers. In this case, the carbonyl carbon (C=O) is the electrophilic site. 3. **Mechanism of the Reaction**: - The Grignard reagent (CH₃⁻) will perform a 1,2-addition to the carbonyl carbon of the enone. This means it will add to the carbonyl carbon directly rather than performing a conjugate (1,4) addition. - The resulting intermediate after the nucleophilic attack will be C₆H₅-CH=CH-C(OH)(CH₃)-CH₃ (where the carbonyl oxygen is now negatively charged). 4. **Protonation Step**: - After the Grignard addition, we will perform an acid workup (H₂O/H⁺). This will protonate the negatively charged oxygen, leading to the formation of an alcohol. - The final product after protonation will be C₆H₅-CH=CH-CHOH-CH₃. 5. **Final Product**: The major product (X) of the reaction sequence is C₆H₅-CH=CH-CHOH-CH₃, which is an allylic alcohol. ### Final Answer: The major product X will be C₆H₅-CH=CH-CHOH-CH₃.
