A
and
C
will not undergo nucleophilic addition with a Grignard reagent.
A
has an H bonded to a nitrogen,
and
C
has an H bonded to an oxygen; these acidic hydrogens will react rapidly with the Grignard reagent,
converting it to an alkane before the Grignard reagent has a chance to react as a nucleophile.
B
will undergo a nucleophilic addition–elimination reaction with the Grignard reagent to form a ketone.
This will be followed by a nucleophilic addition reaction of the ketone with another equivalent of the
Grignard reagent. The product will be a tertiary alcohol.

chloride
Pyridinium chloride is used to protonate the alkoxide ion in the last step because it will not add to the
triple bond like HCl will.
