Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of the principal organic product for each of the given reactions is to be written.

Concept introduction:

Grignard and organolithium reagents are nucleophilic reagents. They react with carbonyl groups and results in the formation of a new carbon-carbon bond follows by hydrolysis that ultimately converts the carbonyl group into the desired alcohol. The hydrolysis is generally took place by the addition of a dilute acid.

Acetylenic Grignard and organolithium reagents of the type RCCMgBr and RCCLi are prepared by an acid-base reaction and not from an acetylenic halide. These reagents abstract a proton from a terminal alkyne. They react with aldehydes and ketones in the usual way.
