Victor Grignard designed a carbon-carbon bond-forming reaction from appropriate alkyl halides and carbonyl compounds without producing alcohol. The Grignard reagent is easily formed by reaction of an alkyl halide, in particular a bromide, with magnesium metal in anhydrous diethyl ether. Although the reaction can be written and thought of as simply
