Grignard Reaction
24PRACTICE PROBLEM
A reaction between an excess of a Grignard reagent and a formate ester, followed by a subsequent protonation produce a secondary alcohol with two identical alkyl groups.
Suggest a plausible mechanism for the reaction between an excess of allylmagnesium bromide and methyl formate. Your mechanism should explain the formation of the product.
