Question

Phenyl acetate react with ch3mgbr

Answer 1

Reaction of a Grignard reagent with an ester is a standard method for producing tertiary alcohols where at least two of the substituents (the "R2RX2" group attached to the Grignard) are the same. Judicious choice of the starting ester allows for the preparation of a tertiary alcohol where all 3 substituents are the same. Alternately, you could react 3 equivalents of the Grignard with a cheap dialkyl carbonate (a "double" ester, if you will) to obtain a tertiary alcohol where all 3 groups are the same.
