What is the theoretical (minimum) number of equivalents ofmethylmagnesium iodide (CHMgI) needed for reaction with benzoin?How many equivalents of CH3MgI did you use relative to benzoin andwhy is this number of equivalents necessary for the reaction?

In this experiment, we used 0.287g of magnesium turnings with13mL of a 1.0M solution of methyl iodide (CH3I) in anhydrousdiethyl ether to synthesize methylmagnesium iodide (CHMgI)

We then reacted methylmagnesium iodide (CHMgI) with 0.507g of abenzoin solution in 10mL of anhydrous CH2Cl2
