Solution
The correct option is A 7 Grignard reacts with unsaturated carbonyl compounds so two moles is required for each ester & carbonyl chloride. Grignard also reacts with acidic H so one mole for −OH and one mole for −SH. Last one mole is required to replace Cl− group. So total 7 moles of Grignard reagent is required.
