  1. I don’t think I can view the image properly. The arrow pushing looks incorrect. But that’s okay. My book can finish this up, thank you.

  2. Would I be correct in stating that the Grignard reagent is so basic, with such a high pKa (approx. 50) that it is able to de-protonate any hydrogen with a lower pKa? Additionally, that in a synthesis it will de-protonate the most acidic hydrogen?
