Question

What happens when grignard reagents react with water?

Answer 1

Grignard reagent contains a partial negative carbon which combines with    partial positive hydrogen of water to form alkane

Answer 2

Answer:

${\tt{\purple{\underline{\underline{\huge{Answer:}}}}}}$

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 is an alkane. The Grignard reagent therefore provides a pathway for converting a haloalkane to an alkane in two steps.
