      Question

      When haloalkanes and aryl and vinyl halides react with

      magnesium metal they yield which reagent?
      A Hinsberg reagent Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Grignard reagent Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Tollens’ reagent Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Fehling reagent Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      When haloalkanes, aryl or vinyl halides react with magnesium metal (usually in the presence of dry ether as a solvent), they yield organomagnesium halides, which are commonly known as Grignard reagents, these are highly reactive organometallic compounds and are widely used in organic synthesis for forming carbon-carbon bonds.
