Carbonyl Reaction with Grignard Reagents

Medium Organic Chemistry Carbonyl Chemistry

In organic chemistry, carbonyl compounds exhibit distinct reactivity patterns due to the polarization of the carbonyl carbon. Consider the following reaction involving a ketone:

Compound A: CH3COCH2CH3 (a ketone) reacts with a nucleophile acting as a Grignard reagent.

What is the major product formed when Compound A is treated with ethylmagnesium bromide (EtMgBr)?
