Step by step solution

01

 Step 1: Formation of tertiary alcohol from ester

Tertiary alcohol formed from an ester and a Grignard reagent must have two identical R (alkyl) groups, and this R group comes from the Grignard reagent RMgX.

All other carbons come from the ester group.

02

Preparation mechanism

(a) Alkyl 4-methylpentanoate reacts with an excess of methyl magnesium bromide in the presence of water gives the required tertiary alcohol product.

The reaction of Alkyl 4-methylpentanoate with methyl magnesium bromide

(b) Alkyl ethanoate reacts with an excess of butyl magnesium bromide in the presence of water to give the required tertiary alcohol product.

The reaction of Alkyl ethanoate with butyl magnesium bromide

Explain why the 尾 carbon of an ,伪,尾-unsaturated carbonyl compound absorbs farther downfield in the C13NMR spectrum than the a carbon, even though the 伪carbon is closer to the electron-withdrawing carbonyl group. For example, the 尾 carbon of mesityl oxide absorbs at 150.5 ppm, while the carbon absorbs at 122.5 ppm.
