How are the following conversions carried out? Methyl magnesium bromide $$\rightarrow$$ 2-Methylpropan-2-ol.

Solution

Attack of methyl magnesium bromide (Grignard reagent) on carbonyl carbon results in the formation of adduct, which has partial charges due to electronegativity differences. The adduct on hydrolysis yields 2-methylpropan2-ol.
