10 Halogen Derivaties
3. Give reasons
iii. Reactions involving Grignard reagent must be carried out under anhydrous condition.
Answer:-
- Grignard reagents are known for their high reactivity.
- They readily react with water or compounds that contain hydrogen atoms attached to electronegative elements.
- Therefore, it is essential to conduct reactions involving Grignard reagents under anhydrous (moisture-free) conditions to prevent unwanted reactions with water or other protic compounds.
