What is the major difference in the structure of the product formed in a Grignard reaction when an alkyl magnesium halide (Grignard reagent) is reacted with an epoxide rather than an aldehyde or ketone followed by work-up with H3O+?

• The alkyl group from the Grignard reagent will be bonded to the β-carbon of the alcohol product.

• Two equivalents of the Grignard will result in the bonding of two alkyl groups to the α-carbon of the alcohol product.

• The alkyl group from the Grignard reagent will form an ether product rather than an alcohol product.

• The alkyl group from the Grignard reagent will be bonded to the α-carbon of the alcohol product.

• The epoxide will protonate the Grignard reagent resulting an alkane product.
