Answer:
Grignard reagents react with water to produce alkanes. This is the reason that everything has to be very dry during the preparation
Explanation:
For example: CH3CH2BrMg + H2O -> CH3CH3 + Mg(OH)Br
The inorganic product, Mg(OH)Br, is referred to as a "basic bromide". You can think of it as a sort of half-way stage between magnesium bromide and magnesium hydroxide.
