Answer:
Option C. 2,2-dimethyl-1-propanol
Explanation:
The first attached picture, is the initial reactant.
Now, what happens in each step?, at first we have an alkyl bromide reacting with Mg/ether. This converts the reactant in a grignard reagent, which is often used in several ketones/ladehydes reactions, and even some acid and esthers.
Now, in the second step, we see this grignard reagent, reacting with CO₂ and H₃O⁺. At first, the grignard reagent will attach to the oxygen of the CO₂ by the MgBr, and the carbonated chain will attach to the carbonile. Then in acid medium, the OMGBr leaves the molecule, and form a carboxylic acid.
Finally, in the last step with LiAlH₄ and water, this compound just reduces the carboxylic acid to a primary alcohol, therefore, the only choice available is option c, 2,2-dimethyl-1-propanol.
See picture 2 below for the drawing.
Hope this helps
