2‑Butanone is converted into 3‑methyl‑3‑hexanol using a Grignard reagent prepared from 1‑bromopropane and magnesium metal in THF solution. List the procedural steps required to collect the alcohol product by microdistillation.

1. Decant the THF solution into -25mL round-bottom flask

Explanation:

1. Decant the THF solution into -25mL round-bottom flask.

2. Add boiling chips to the solution in round-bottom flask.

3. Grease all joints and attach the flask to a micro distillation apparatus.

4. Set apparatus in heating mantle and use heat shield tiles.

5. Adjust variac to distill THF at -60°C.

6. Increase variac setting to cause distillation of higher-boiling product.

7. Stop distillation before the flask becomes dry.

b. accuracy of the data matters alot more than its number of digits, organization or amount of detail. quantitative observation is more accepted than the qualitative observation.
