5.1 Addition of Grignard Reagents

Addition of a Grignard reagent to a $>C = O$ compound is a versatile reaction that leads to formation of a new carbon –carbon bond. Because both the structure of the carbonyl compounds and the structure of the Grignard reagent can be varied, the reaction can produce compounds with a variety of structures.

A ketone reacts with a Grignard reagent to produce a $3^\circ $ alcohol.

A Grignard reagent can react with $C{O_2}$ to form carboxylic acids with one more carbon than the Grignard reagent.
