4) Water destroys Grignard reagents why?

Answer»

Grignard reagent is not prepared in the solvent which has acidic hydrogen because it react to form alkane .

It is highly reactive and water or alcohols would protonate and destroy the Grignard reagent as the grignard carbon is highly nucleophilic.

Dry ether doesnot give H to the grignard reagent that is why it is used as solvent .
