Why will this synthesis fail HO 1 C H MgBr ether 2 H O HO HO The reactant organic compound has a group that will adversely react with Grignard reagent O The product formed will be too unstable because of two hydroxy groups with strong dipole effect O Because of the highly polar hydroxy group in the reactant organic compound it will not dissolve in ether solver O The nucleophilic attack by the Grignard reagent is sterically hindered by the ring structure
