Tertiary alcohols with two identical alkyl groups attached to the alcohol carbon can be made either from an ester and two moles of a Grignard reagent, or from a ketone and one mole of a Grignard reagent. Use retrosynthetic analysis to suggest one path of each type to synthesize 1,1-diphenylethanol. (Click and drag the appropriate image to the correct position in the following reactions.)
This problem is based on the concept of alcohol formation by different methods using Grignard reagent.
Grignard reagent undergoes reaction with ester and carbonyl compounds (ketones and aldehydes) in order to form the compounds containing hydroxyl group
which are called alcohols.
Grignard reagent attacks on the electrophilic carbon of carbonyl group
of ketone and ester group
in order to form an anion which has negative charge on oxygen atom, further which undergoes hydrolysis to form tertiary alcohols.
The given structure of the compound is shown below.

The structure of the ester and Grignard reagent are given below:

The structure of the ketone and Grignard reagent are given below:

Representation of route 1 to form tertiary alcohol is given below:

Representation of route 2 to form tertiary alcohol is given below:

13 SN1: Synthesis of tert-Butyl Chloride Alkyl halides can be prepared from their corresponding alcohols via an acid catalyzed substitution reaction. The mechanism of these acid catalyzed substitution reactions are labeled as Syl (substitution, nucleophilic, unimolecular) and S2 (substitution, nucleophilic, bimolecular). Tertiary alcohols follow the Snl route, primary alcohols follow the S2 route, and secondary alcohols can follow either path. Under acidic conditions, the mechanism (Figure 1) of the Sul reaction involves rapid protonation of the alcohol, followed by the...
