Answer 1

2-phenyl-2-hexanol can be prepared by Grignard synthesis.

The pair of compounds giving the desired product is

(d) None of these

Answer 2

Both options A and C are correct.

Explanation:

• The grignard reagent is a nucleophile represented by RMgX where R is an alkyl or aryl molecule, Mg is magnesium and X is any halide, preferably Bromine.

• So R is actually having a negative charge here which acts as the nucleophile.

• For preparation of a tertiary alcohol like 2-phenyl-2-hexanol, we need a ketone group.

• So here, both options A and C will give the desired product.

• But option B won't give the product.
