The product when acetone is reacted with methylmagnesium chloride, followed by aqueous workup is 2-methyl-2-propanol.

Here's the step-by-step process:

1. Methylmagnesium chloride (CH3MgCl) is a Grignard reagent. Grignard reagents are strong nucleophiles and can attack the carbonyl carbon of acetone (CH3COCH3).

2. The reaction of acetone with methylmagnesium chloride results in the addition of a methyl group to the carbonyl carbon of acetone. This forms a new carbon-carbon bond.

3. After the addition of the methyl group, the oxygen atom of the carbonyl group is protonated during the aqueous workup to give an alcohol.

4. The final product is 2-methyl-2-propanol.
