The Grignard reagent is prepared from the halide shown. Each option gives an electrophile (each followed by $H X_{3} O X^{+}$ ) and the structure claimed as the major product. Select all options in which the product is correct.

AWith $CO X_{2}$ : Structure A
BWith $HCHO$ : Structure B
CWith acetone: Structure C
DWith ethylene oxide: Structure D

Answer: A, C

Isopropylmagnesium bromide with CO2 gives 2-methylpropanoic acid (correct). With HCHO it gives 2-methylpropan-1-ol, but Structure B (3-methylbutan-2-ol) is the ethanal product, so B is wrong. With acetone it gives 2,3-dimethylbutan-2-ol (correct). With ethylene oxide it adds two carbons, giving 3-methylbutan-1-ol; Structure D has three carbons added, so D is wrong.
