Question
The alcohol below was synthesized via a Grignard reaction. There are TWO different combinations of the Grignard reagent and carbonyl that can be used to make the product. Think about TWO ways to make the product, listing the carbonyl and Grignard reagent in the designated boxes.

Transcribed Image Text:**Retrosynthesis Analysis:**
The following exercise explores the synthesis of a secondary alcohol via a Grignard reaction. The goal is to identify two distinct combinations of Grignard reagents and carbonyl compounds that can yield the secondary alcohol displayed.
**Molecular Structure:**
- The molecule in question is a secondary alcohol with a phenyl group and a one-carbon chain connected to the alcohol group.
**Grignard Reaction #1:**
- Think about the Grignard reagent and carbonyl compound combination that will produce the secondary alcohol. Complete the provided boxes with the appropriate chemical structures.
**Grignard Reaction #2:**
- Consider an alternative set of Grignard reagent and carbonyl compound that can also synthesize the secondary alcohol. Fill in the designated boxes with the correct structures.
In both pathways, the target is to synthesize the same final product using different starting materials, highlighting the versatility of Grignard reactions in organic synthesis.
