Explanation:
ether is an aprotic solvent.the bond between R-Mg is highly polar.ether has a lone pair of electron.where benzene does not have .ether is a great solvating agent.so the grignard reagent can be formed only in good solvent but not in non polar solvent.

- Grignard reaction with aldehydes and ketones
- To produce a primary alcohol, the Grignard reagent is reacted with formaldehyde. Reacting a Grignard reagent with any other aldehyde will lead to a secondary alcohol. Finally, reacting a Grignard reagent with a ketone will generate a tertiary alcohol.
