Answer: The product obtained will be 2-methyl-propane-2-ol.
Explanation:
Ethyl acetate is an acid derivative and when it is reacted with Grignard reagent, the product depends on the amount of Grignard reagent.
When the reagent is used in limited amount, the product formed will be a ketone and when the reagent is used in excess, the final product obtained will be a 3° alcohol.
The equation for the above reaction is given in the image below.
