Grignard reagent


 

A Grignard Reagent is an alkyl- or aryl- magnesium halide. This reagent is important in the synthesis of carbon-carbon bonds in the Grignard reaction. Grignard reagents undergo reactions with compounds containing carbonyl groups. These reactions create alcohols.

Coupling reaction

A Grignard reagent can also be involved in a coupling reaction. For example nonylmagnesium bromide (CAS registry number 39691-62-8) reacts with a aryl chloride to a nonyl benzoic acid (CAS registry number 38289-46-2). An iron catalyst is used and not a expensive palladium catalyst such as used in Heck reactions. Acac stands for acetylacetonate.
