The above reaction occurs in presence of excess of grignard reagent if hydrolysis of the adduct formed is done then a 3°alcohol is obtained.
CH3-C(O)- O-CH3 + C2H5MgBr ------------>
         OMgBr
          |
CH3-C-C2H5
          |
         C2H5   [ adduct]
Hydrolysis of this adduct gives a 3° alcohol
