Answer

(4) [figure]

Solution

Excess CH3MgBr attacks both electrophilic groups.

Ketone group: CH3 adds to the carbonyl carbon alkoxide -C(OMgBr)(CH3)- H3O+ tertiary alcohol C6H5-C(OH)(CH3)-.

Nitrile group: as per NCERT, nitriles with Grignard reagent give an imine salt -C(CH3)=NMgBr (no further addition) H3O+ ketone -COCH3.

Product: C6H5C(OH)(CH3)CH2CH2COCH3 (5-hydroxy-5-phenylhexan-2-one), i.e. option (4).

Answer: (4)
