What is the major difference in the structure of the product formed in a Grignard reaction when an alkyl magnesium halide (Grignard reagent) is reacted with an epoxide rather than an aldehyde or ketone followed by work-up with H3O+?
A) The alkyl group from the Grignard reagent will be bonded to the α-carbon of the alcohol product.
B) The alkyl group from the Grignard reagent will be bonded to the β-carbon of the alcohol product.
C) The alkyl group from the Grignard reagent will form an ether product rather than an alcohol product.
D) Two equivalents of the Grignard will result in the bonding of two alkyl groups to the α-carbon of the alcohol product.
E) The epoxide will protonate the Grignard reagent resulting an alkane product.
