caption_attribution_description: Ball-and-stick model of the phenylmagnesium bromide dietherate complex, [PhMgBr(OEt2)2], as found in the crystal structure. X-ray crystallographic data from J. Am. Chem. Soc. (1964) 86, 4825-4830. The quality of data is quite poor for the carbon atom positions, particularly the ether carbons, so these have been estimated with molecular mechanics and should not be taken too literally. Model constructed in CrystalMaker 8.1. Image generated in Accelrys DS Visualizer.
context_page_description: Phenylmagnesium bromide, with the simplified formula C
  ₆H
  ₅MgBr, is a magnesium-containing organometallic compound. It is commercially available as a solution in diethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran. Phenylmagnesium bromide is a Grignard reagent. It is often used as a synthetic equivalent for the phenyl "Ph⁻" synthon.
