How do you convert acetone to 2-methyl-2-pentanone?

OpenStudy (ookawaiioo):

Add MgBr-CH2CH2CH3 (Grenard reagent) I forgot if its under acidic or basic condition. But this will attack at the carbonyl and extend the molecule to become 2-methyl-2-pentanone

Oh yeah now I remember thanks :). Its under acidic condition.
