**Grignard reagent** R-Mg-X is formed by reacting:

  1. Alkyl halide with Mg metal in dry ether
  2. Alkyl halide with hot HCl
  3. Alkene + HCl
  4. Alcohol with Na
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Alkyl halide with Mg metal in dry ether

R-X + Mg → R-Mg-X (in anhydrous ether, dry conditions essential — Grignard reacts violently with water/protic compounds). Very powerful nucleophile/base. Reacts with C=O, esters, ethylene oxide etc to build C-C bonds.
