The whistle at 3:09 caught me off-guard. :D Love your videos!

[@ezracinamon2587]

if you had more equivalents of the Grignard would you be able to add another methyl onto the carbon of the original aldehyde?

[@ChadsPrep]

Once the Grignard has attacked the nucleophillic center its no longer reactive so we couldn't simultaneously add on two methyl groups if that's what you were asking?

[@emiliolarrazabal5360]

How do you know the protecting group is going to protect the aldehyde and not the ketone?

[@bissap_von_mazatec53]

because the aldehyde is more reactive than the keton, therefore also prefered in the reaction with the protection group
