To dry your glassware, the procedure directs you to wash your glassware with acetone and then dry it with a heat-gun. Draw (a) a curved arrow mechanism of and (b) thee side products that would result from reaction of (i) phenylmagnesium bromide and water and (ii) phenylmagnesium bromide and acetone. Phenylmagnesium bromide behaves as a nucleophile in both cases, in the first case toward an electrophilic H and, in the second case, toward an electrophilic carbonyl carbon.
