Question

Why do organometallics often react twice with acid chlorides, resulting in disubstituted alcohols rather than ketones?

Accepted Answer

Because they are highly reactive and continue to attack the formed ketone

Answer

Because they form stable intermediates that resist further reaction

Answer

Because they lack sufficient reactivity to stop at the ketone stage

Answer

Because they only react with the ester group within acid chlorides
