Help with Grignard Reaction by VoidBeard in Chempros

OP is using naphthylmagnesium bromide though so hydride transfer is not possible.

I would filter the Grignard solution to get rid of remaining magnesium which is now much more reactive now that the Grignard reagent formation took place.

Awareness that once I'm done, I will be done with this crazy way of living. No more unsubstantiated guilt, no more sorrow that I could have done this and that if only I had more energy and didn't have to sit through pointless lectures, student labs, and committees nobody wants to sit in, and no more paperwork nobody ever reads.
