The Grignard reaction with a ketone is pictured on pg 485. As pictured
the Grignard reagent attacts opposite the double bonded oxygen and it
"opens" up the sp2 hybridization making a tertiary alcohol. The
stereochemistry would be affected depending on what R, R', and R" are. If
they are all different a stereocenter would be formed.
Enjoy, Reid
