why is the last part correct? i feel like benzophenone is too sterically hindered to react again with PhMgBr and form 3 phenyl rings on one carbon via nucleophilic attack

The rings are not in the plane of the carbonyl bond I think.

oh, ok yeah 3d models online show that both benzene rings are in the same plane, so nucleophilic attack could just happen from out of that plane thanku +solved @Opt
