This is an organic synthesis I plan to do in my home chemistry lab. gonna try to make a NileRed kind of youtube video covering it all. do u guys have any advice/tips before i start?

I have experience with fischer esterification of secondary alcohols w/ carboxylic acids, and experience making low MW alkyl halides from alcohols, but this will be my first home grignard reaction.

I am aware of the carcinogenity of bromoethane, so I'm doing this outside with a respirator, heavy duty fan.
