🧠 Designing the Carbon Skeleton
When a Grignard reagent (like Methyl magnesium chloride) attacks a Carbonyl, it adds a carbon atom directly into the structure. This is one of the most powerful ways to build up alcohols.

🗺️ The Chemical Pathway
1. The Reactants: Acetone (Dimethyl ketone, ) and Methylmagnesium chloride ().
2. The Nucleophilic Attack: The "Methyl" group from the Grignard attacks the electrophilic carbonyl carbon of acetone. This creates an intermediate alkoxide.
3. The Hydrolysi
