Answer:
Grignard reagents react rapidly with acidic hydrogen atoms in molecules such as alcohols and water . When a Grignard reagent reacts with water . a proton replaces the halogen, and the product in an alkane . The Grignard reagent therefore provides a pathway for converting a haloalkane to an alkane in two steps

A Grignard reagent is an organomagnesium compound which can be described by the chemical formula 'R-Mg-X' where R refers to an alkyl or aryl group and X refers to a halogen. They are generally produced by reacting an aryl halide or an alkyl halide with magnesium.
R-Mg-X(Grignard reagent) reacts with formaldehyde and forms primary alcohols(example ethyl alcohol)
