01

Step-by-Step Solution  Step 1: Grignard reagents

Grignard reagents are highly reactive towards electrophiles due to their nucleophilic nature. They undergo a nucleophilic addition reaction with carbonyl compounds to give corresponding alcohol.

02

Transformation mechanism

  • The elimination of the methoxy group follows the nucleophilic addition of Grignard reagent at carbonyl group.

Reaction with first mole of Grignard reagent

  • The second molecule of Grignard reagent attacks the carbonyl carbon, and the methoxy group is eliminated similarly.

Reaction with second mole of Grignard reagent

  • The third molecule of Grignard reagent attacks the carbonyl carbon followed by acid hydrolysis to form triphenyl methanol.
