During the formation of Grignard's reagent dry or anhydrous ether is used to prevent the magnesium from moisture because in presence of water magnesium leaves the organic material and combines with water.
It is not easy to break C-Cl bond as it is strong. Hence alkyl chlorides are not suitable for Grignard reagents.
Yes, it's possible. Not much is known about this type of reaction, though aryl Grignard reagents and aryl halides to react in a halogen exchange.
Grignard reagents react rapidly with water.
anhydrous Zinc chloride and aq.HCl or CaCl2 and HCl.
Grignard reagents are stable in ether medium. Ether generally forms an adduct with Grignard reagents. In addition, if solvents containing acidic hydrogens are present, Grignard reagents are decomposed to the corresponding hydrocarbon.
Grignard reactions must be carried out in an anhydrous environment in an anhydrous solvent (e.g. anhydrous ether). Why? Grignard reagents behave essentially as a carbanion, and are extremely reactive. Therefore they cannot be carried out while acidic hydrogens, or other positive reactive centers are present (carbonyl compounds such as acetone) in the reaction mixture because there is no way to stop the Grignard from reacting with these other compounds rather than the desired reactant. If phenylmagnesium bromide were prepared, and ANY water was present in the reaction mixture phenylmagnesium bromide would not hesitate to react with water--stealing one of its hydrogens. This hydrogen would therefore replace the attached --MgBr to form benzene.
When grignard reagents react with water, they create alkanes. In order for alkanes to successfully be produced, everything in the area must be completely dry.
1- oxidation of alcohols or aldehydes, 2- hydrolysis of nitriles, 3- hydrolysis of esters, 4- reactions of Grignard's reagents with dry ice.
Yes. Grignard reagents are extremely strong bases that deprotonates the carboxylic acid which then becomes a carboxylate.

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.
Mg Forms mostly Ionic Bond.But Grignard Reagents are Predomnately CovalentSo Both are Possible!
In most cases, an ionic compound is formed but there are exceptions such as Grignard reagents and diethylzinc.
