Grignard Reaction Mechanism Reagent and Cheat Sheet
The Grignard reaction (pronounced Grin-yard) involves an R-Mg-X, a carbon chain bound to a magnesium halide, typically used to form alcohols by attacking carbonyls such as in aldehydes or ketones. The Grignard reaction is my go-to for chain elongation in orgo 2 synthesis.Alkynes are my go-to for orgo 1 chain elongation. In English, please? Let’s back up […]
