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