Answer:
Ph3OH
Explanation:
The reaction is between ethyl benzoate (PhCOOC2H5) and a Grignard reagent PhMgBr(C6H5MgBr).
The first step in the reaction mechanism is that the ethyl benzoate is converted to PhCOPh by the first molecule of Grignard reagent.
The second molecule of Grignard reagent now converts PhCOPh to Ph3O^-. In the presence of acid, Ph3O^- is now protonated to yield Ph3OH which is the major organic product of the reaction.
