Grignard reagent consists of any of numerous organic derivatives of magnesium (Mg), commonly represented by the general formula RMgX (in which R is a hydrocarbon radical: CH3, C2H5, C6H5, etc.; and X is a halogen atom, usually chlorine, bromine, or iodine).
What are Grignard Reagents?
In synthetic processes, Grignard reagents are used to create new carbon-carbon bonds. A extremely polar carbon-magnesium bond, in which the carbon atom has a partial negative charge and the metal a partial positive charge, characterizes a Grignard reagent.
The balanced equation for the formation of the Grignard reagent from bromobenzene is in the image.
