------------------------------------------------ How can we prepare [tex]RR'R''OH[/tex] by the action of an excess of a suitable Grignard reagent on which of the following reactants?

A. Nitrile or an aldehyde
B. Ester or an alcohol
C. Aldehyde or a ketone
D. Ketone or an ester

Answer :

Final answer:

To prepare RR' R'' OH, a suitable Grignard reagent can react with an aldehyde or a ketone.

Explanation:

In order to prepare RR' R'' OH, we can use the action of excess of a suitable Grignard reagent on an aldehyde or a ketone.

For example, if we react a Grignard reagent (R-Mg-Br) with an aldehyde (R'-CHO), we can obtain the desired product RR' R'' OH.

The reaction can be represented as: R-Mg-Br + R'-CHO -> RR' R'' OH + MgBr2.
