The utility of the reaction for which these chemicals are a reactant is limited by the Boord olefin synthesis, which provides an alternative pathway that ends with alkenes; that reaction ends with water attacking these compounds characteristic group to leave a hydroxyl. These compounds are usually found in solutions of tetrahydrofuran or diethyl ether because they dissociate in a reaction governed by the Schlenk equilibrium and are commonly synthesized by the reaction of tetrahydrofuran or diethyl ether on a group two metal. The original form of these compounds was a phenyl bromide, but any halide can be used; they are defined as alkyl- or aryl-magnesium halides. For 10 points, name these highly reactive organomagnesium nucleophilic halides usually named for the 1912 Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry, a French organic chemist.
