Answer:C

(CH3CH2CH2)2CuLi

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction between acyl halides and Grignard reagents or acyl halides and organolithium compounds does not form ketones because the reagents ( Grignard reagent and organo lithium compounds) are too reactive hence the ketone intermediate reacts further to form tertiary alcohols hence the ketone cannot be isolated.
