The addition of phenylmagnesium bromide to methyl benzoate (or any ester) occurs twice to form an alcohol. Assume that you wanted to prepare benzophenone using phenylmagnesium bromide. Since the addition to methyl benzoate cannot be controlled to stop at benzophenone, devise a synthesis of benzophenone using phenylmagnesium bromide and any other necessary reagents. You should aim to come up with the most efficient synthesis.
