Overview
Methyl magnesium chloride, also referred to as a Grignard reagent, plays a vital role in nucleophilic substitutions and acts as a potent base, particularly when combined with an amine. Methyl magnesium chloride exhibits a decreased reactivity compared to bromide, enabling the use of gentler reaction conditions, particularly in the presence of competing bases.
