When attempting to solve the following "predict-the-product" problem, a student wrote the response shown below, a common error. Justify why this reaction would not work.

The Grignard reagent would react with its internal carbonyl group first.

The Grignard reagent needs to be in a basic medium.

The Grignard reagent would not react with the carbonyl because of the phenyl ring.

The Grignard reagent can only react with carbonyl if there is a lithium cation present.
