Question

Write a balanced equation for the Grignard synthesis of the secondary or tertiary alcohol that you will make from the reaction of 2-butanone with butylmagnesium bromide. Also, in the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physicsor from suitable online resources, look up the boiling points of your alcohol product and the coupled alkane that may arise from your bromoalkane in the Grignard synthesis. 0.1 mol of 1-bromobutane, 2.4 g of magnesium turnings, 0.098 mol of 2-butanone. yea i have no idea what else is needed. Also I need theoretical yield.
