Grignard reaction.

Explanation

Grignard reagent react with all compounds containing reactive hydrogen to form alkanes. For example
`CH_(3)MgBr+HOHtoCH_(4)+MgBr(OH)`
`CH_(3)MgBr+ROHtoCH_(4)+MgBr(OR)`
`CH_(3)MgBr+RNH_(2)toCH_(4)+MgBr(NHR)`
Grinard reagent reacts with alkyl halides to give higher hydrocarbons. For example,
`CH_(3)MgBr+CH_(3)CH_(2)BrtoCH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(3)+MgBr_(2)`
`CH_(3)MgBr+CH_(2)=CHCH_(2)Brto CH_(2)=CH-CH_(2)-CH_(3)+MgBr_(2)`
Grignard reagent reacts with aldehydes, ketones, acids and esters to give alsohols. For example,
`HCHO+CH_(3)MgBrtoH-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)(CH)-OMgBrunderset(H^(+))overset(H_(2)O)(to)CH_(3)CH_(2)OH+MgBr(OH)`
`CH_(3)CHO+CH_(3)MgBr to CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)(CH)-OMgBr underset(H^(+))overset(H_(2)O)(to)CH_(3)CHOHCH_(3)+MgBr(OH)`
`CH_(3)COCH_(3)+CH_(3)MgBr to CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C)-OMgBrunderset(H^(+))overset(H_(2)O)(to)(CH_(3))_(3)COH+MgBr(OH)`
