Question

What is Grignard’s reagent in a molecule?

Answer 1

A Grignard reagent has a formula RMgX where X is a halogen, and R is an alkyl or aryl (based on a benzene ring) group. For the purposes of this page, we shall take R to be an alkyl group. A typical Grignard reagent might be CH3CH2MgBr. The preparation of a Grignard reagent.

Grignard reagents are very reactive reactants that are used synthetically to form new carbon-carbon bonds. We will discuss these reactions in Section 10.6. Grignard reagents react rapidly with acidic hydrogen atoms in molecules such as alcohols and water to produce alkanes.
