Q. Statement I: $RCOCl ,( RCO )_2 O$ and $RCOOR$ ' all react with Grignard reagents to form $3^{\circ}$ alcohols.
Statement II : $RCOCl$ reacts with $R _2 Cd$ to form ketones but $( RCO )_2 O$ and $RCOOR$ ' do not react at all.

Aldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic Acids

Solution:

$RCOCl ,( RCO )_2 O$ and $RCOOR ^{\prime}$ all add two molecules of Grignard reagents to give $3^{\circ}$ alcohols.
