Conversion question: How to convert 2-propanol to 2-butanol?

Can someone confirm that this is a correct way to make 2-butonalbutanol starting from 2-propanol?

  1. First add Cl2 and UV-light to it to become 1-chloro-2-propanol

  2. Make from CH3Cl a Grignard reagent by adding Mg and dry ether

  3. Let a nucleophile substitution happen between CH3MgCl and 1-chloro-2-propanol

  4. You get 2-butanol?
