Victor Grignard won The Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1912.
Roger Grignard is known for his works in the field of organic chemistry, particularly in the area of organometallic chemistry. He has made important contributions to the development of new synthetic methods and the understanding of metal-catalyzed reactions. Some of his notable research includes the Grignard reagents and Grignard reaction.
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1912 was divided equally between Victor Grignard for the discovery of the so-called Grignard reagent, which in recent years has greatly advanced the progress of organic chemistry and Paul Sabatier for his method of hydrogenating organic compounds in the presence of finely disintegrated metals whereby the progress of organic chemistry has been greatly advanced in recent years.
Georges Grignard died on 1977-12-07.
Georges Grignard was born on 1905-07-25.
Ethers are used as solvent in Grignard reaction and not as catalyst. This is because if we use other solvents which have acidic hydrogen, Grignard reagent will decompose and the Grignard reaction will not proceed further.
The person that is credited with discovering the organomagnesium compounds was Victor Grignard. He found them and used them to make synthetic reagents and win the 1912 Nobel Peace Prize for it.
Preparation of alcohol from alkyl halide: React an alkyl halide with magnesium in dry ether to form a Grignard reagent. Then add the Grignard reagent to a carbonyl compound like formaldehyde to obtain the corresponding alcohol after acidic workup. Preparation of alkane from Grignard reagent: React a Grignard reagent (prepared from alkyl halide and magnesium) with an alkyl halide to form a new carbon-carbon bond, resulting in the synthesis of a higher alkane.
