Concept introduction:Grignard reagents are alkyl magnesium halides obtained from the treatment of haloalkane with magnesium in the presence of dried ether conditions. This reagent isuseful precursor for the quick synthesis of a variety of organic compounds For example, the reaction of Grignard reagent with aldehyde or ketone generates alcohol as illustrated below.

Methyl bromide reacts with magnesium ether to give Grignard reagent. This Grignard methyl magnesium bromide on treatment with formaldehyde gives corresponding alcohol. The mechanistic pathway for the latter reaction is as follows:
