Organic chemistry hobbyist here

I'm hoping to do a grignard reaction at some point, but it sounds so tedious. So much sh*t to dry. Not just drying glassware. but also sodium-drying the ether, MgSO4 drying the carbonyl compound, CaCl2 drying the bromoalkane. Did I miss anything? Do I need to use a schlenk line, or is a CaCl2 drying tube enough?

Organic chemistry is the only pleasure I can get in life. Bad sense of smell so food is boring. Circumcised so masturbation is boring. Autistic so socializing is boring.
