Grignard Reagent Chemistry
Learn how Grignard reagents are prepared, their reactivity, and their use in organic synthesis.
Why this shows up in the exam
Grignard reagents are a favorite topic for both preparation and reaction-based questions.
How NEET tests this
Practise it
These are real questions from past NEET papers that test this exact idea.
Identify ‘X’ in the following reaction. Br-[benzene ring]-Cl + Mg --(Dry ether)--> Intermediate --(D₂O)--> X [1.0 mol] [1.0 mol]
Push further
More challenging8 harder questions built from the past papers above — a step up in difficulty, with distractors designed so you can't get there by elimination. Written and checked by our reviewers, not from a real paper.
A solution of methyl iodide in dry ether is reacted with magnesium turnings to form compound 'P'. When 'P' is then treated with methanol, the final organic product obtained is:
