Organic chemistry
If anyone could give me a general idea of how to solve these problems, thank you! 1. Write the chemical reaction for the formation of the respective Grignard reagents from the reaction of magnesium with the following organic halides:
(a) iodomethane (b) bromobenzene (c) chlorocyclohexane

The following web page seems to cover this fairly well - http://www.chemguid...lkanes/grignard.html

(a) CH3I + Mg = CH3MgI

(b) C6H5Br +Mg = C6H5MgBr

(c)C6H11Cl + Mg= C6H11MgCl

The second example doesn't work very well unless the Mg is very finely ground and I mean very finely! lol.
