Explain how CH3CH2CHO can react with a Grignard reagent to produce CH3CH2CH(OH)CH2CH3. State the reagents and give the mechanism.

Use the Grignard reagent CH₃CH₂MgBr. CH₃CH₂CHO + CH₃CH₂MgBr ---> CH₃CH₂CH(OH)CH₂CH₃step one: add Grignard reagent.step two: work up with H⁺/H₂0.Mechanism on whiteboard.
