Explore: Grignard Reagents

Grignard reagents or Grignard compounds are chemical compounds with the general formula R−Mg−X, where X is a halogen and R is an organic group, normally

not limited to: Turbo-Grignards, organocerium reagents, and organocuprate (Gilman) reagents. Turbo-Grignards are Grignard reagents modified with lithium

Victor Grignard (6 May 1871 – 13 December 1935) was a French chemist who won the Nobel Prize for his discovery of the eponymously named Grignard reagent and

This reagent is used to prepare other Grignard reagents by transmetalation. An illustrative reaction involves the generation of the Grignard reagent derived

devices. The first investigations into the catalytic coupling of Grignard reagents with organic halides date back to the 1941 study of cobalt catalysts

from trifluoroborane (in ether) and the ethyl or pentafluorophenyl Grignard reagent. Further carbanion addition will effect a borate (R4B−). Boronic acids
