Using the Grignard reaction, carry out the scheme for the conversion of ethanal (via the corresponding alcohol) to butanone.

The Grignard reaction means the interaction of carbonyl compounds (aldehydes, ketones, esters) with organomagnesium compounds.
At the first stage, magnesium alcoholates are formed, which give the corresponding alcohols upon acid hydrolysis. Under the action of an oxidizing agent, butanol-2 is oxidized to butanone. Oxidizing agents such as Jones reagent (CrO3, H2SO4), Corey reagent (CrO3, HCl, pyridine), Sarrett-Collins reagent (CrO3, pyridine) can be used.
