The reaction shows a Grignard reagent (RMgBr) reacting with CO₂, followed by acid hydrolysis. This is the Grignard carboxylation reaction. The Grignard reagent acts as a nucleophile, attacking the electrophilic carbon in CO₂. This forms a magnesium carboxylate salt. Subsequent acid hydrolysis (H₃O⁺) protonates the salt, yielding a carboxylic acid. The general reaction is:

RMgBr+CO2RCOO2MgBrH3O+RCOOH

Therefore, the final product is a carboxylic acid with one more carbon atom than the original alkyl halide used to make the Grignard reagent.
