Organomagnesium compounds
The interaction of alkyl halide with Mg metal in a suitable ether solvent is the common method for the synthesis of the Grignard reagent.
Hydrolysis Grignard Reactions and Reduction
Organomagnesium halides are Grignard reagents. Francois Auguste Victor Grignard, a French chemist who received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1912, created these highly useful reagents.
Acidic hydration of alkenes lead to the formation of alcohols.
The addition of water to the alkenes take place according to Markovnikov rule.
Markovnikov rule: It states that the negative part of reagent will attach to that carbon of double bond which contain minimum number of H-atoms attached to it.
The reaction also takes place through Carbocation intermediate, so the stability of Carbocation is also taken into account.
Stability of Carbocations:
Allylic = Benzylic > 3°>2°>1°
