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.
Draw a stepwise mechanism for the following reaction, which results in the synthesis of bisphenol F (R = H), an additive used in a variety of packaging materials. Bisphenol F is related to BPA (bisphenol A, R = CH3), a reagent used to harden some plastics, now removed from certain baby products because of its estrogen-like activity that can disrupt endocrine pathways.
