  • C B, C and D
  • D B and C

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Grignard product is that product which forms because of nucleophilic addition reaction.

Aldehydes on reaction with Grignard reagent gives Grignard product.

In Grignard reagent R− is a very strong base, so it will react with acidic H+ of −COOH group first. As Grignard reagent is one equivalent, so no reagent will remain to react with aldehyde group.

Here also in alcohol functional group (−CH2OH)  H+ is acidic so here acid base reaction will occur.

In option (A) only one functional group (− CHO) present so it will give Grignard product by nucleofilic addition reaction.

In option (C) functional group ether (− CH3) does not react with RMgX so aldehyde functional group will react with RMgX and give Grignard product.
