    The end product will depend upon

    a) the amount of the reagent taken

    b) the final treatment of the reaction

    If we have just taken methylmagnesium iodide and p-hydroxyacetophenone, then we will get methane and hydroxyl group substituted with MgI in place of hydrogen

    Figure 1

    However if we have taken excess of methylmagnesium iodide which is Grignard's reagent followed by hydrolysis we will get different product
