Answer:
Route 1: In order to obtain 3‑methyl‑3‑pentanol, the reagent 1 should be ethyl acetate (ester) and the reagent 2 should be ethyl magnesium bromide (Grignard).
Route 2: In order to obtain 3‑methyl‑3‑pentanol, the reagent 1 should be 3-pentanone (ketone) and the reagent 2 should be methyl magnesium bromide (Grignard).
Explanation:
In planning a Grignard synthesis it is important to notice the groups attached to the carbon atom bearing the alcohol group.
For route 1 the reagent 1 is an ester thus, the R group chousen will be added twice because the first step form a ketone and the second step form the tertiary alcohol. To obtain 3‑methyl‑3‑pentanol the reagent 1 should be ethyl acetate and the reagent 2 should be ethyl magnesium bromide because of that the only possibility.
For route 2 the reagent 1 is a ketone so, only one R group will be added. One possibility is 3-pentanone as the ketone and methyl magnesium bromide as Grignard reagent.
