Question

Why grignard reagent is prepared in dry condition?

Answer 1

Grignard carbon is nucleophilic in nature. Using water or alcohol which is acidic in nature would protonate thegrignard carbon and hence destroygrignard reagent. ... as dry ehter is non acidic it is a good solvent for prepration of Grignard Reagent.

Grignard reagent should be prepared under anhydrous conditions, because it is very reactive. It reacts very quickly with any source of proton to give hydrocarbon. It reacts with water very quickly. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid moisture from the Grignard reagents.
