Organolithium or Grignard reagents react with the carbonyl group, C=O, in aldehydes or ketones to give alcohols.
The substituents on the carbonyl dictate the nature of the product alcohol.
Addition to methanal (formaldehyde) gives primary alcohols.
Addition to other aldehydes gives secondary alcohols.
Addition to ketones gives tertiary alcohols.
The acidic work-up converts an intermediate metal alkoxide salt into the desired alcohol via a simple acid base reaction.
