Which one of the following statements is FALSE? The formation of a Grignard reagent requires use of 1 molecule of magnesium metal for every 1 molecule of alkyl bromide used. Organometallic compounds undergo transmetallation to form a less polar carbon-metal bond. O Reductive elimination is the last step in a Pd-mediated cross-coupling reaction. Oxidative addition is when a metal inserts between a carbon-halogen bond. The formation of an organolithium reagent requires use of 1 molecule of lithium metal for every 1 molecule of alkyl bromide used.
